” Well...If bullying soooooo good then why do adults get millions awarded to them in court, perps sent to prison, professionals lose their licenses and sued for malpractice, and business given huge fines for the same type of physical and emotional harassment?
Unbelievable!”
The answer is simple. We have become a society of pansies and golddiggers looking to be harassed, offended, or somehow bullied. There was a day when men were men and women were women, and they did not need to hide behind societal curtains like home schooling. The process of boys becoming men and girls becoming women has been disrupted by know it alls, do gooders, and zealots. It is much easier to just runaway and hide, sue, or claim foul than it is to stand up and face tyranny head on. Whenever people runaway for some sort of perceived cover, tyranny grows stronger because there is not enough people left behind to challenge it. Yes, our public institutions are rotten, but it is our fault for not standing up and fighting for what is right. Instead too many looked for somewhere to run, hide their eyes, and pretend they were better than everyone else.
What is unbelievable is how many cowards we have in this country today.
But...Hey! That is why I support privatization of K-12 education. You should be completely free to choose the educational philosophy that most closely suits your children's needs.
Somehow, though, my ( oh so sheltered) homeschooled kids graduated from college, are married, with children, regular church attenders, volunteers in the community, faithful voters, and responsible in every way.
One was a nationally and internationally ranked athlete and represented the U.S. worldwide, worked for several years for our church in Eastern Europe and returned to the states completely fluent in Russian, earned a masters degree in accounting, has a high paying professional position in an accounting firm, and is now taking his CPA exams.
The other two graduated with B.S. degrees in mathematics at the ages of 18. One was teaching college students as part of her masters program at the age of 18 and finished her masters degree at the age of 20.
