Unfortunately too many Americans feel about their particular public schools as they do about their particular congress critters: as a whole, they know the product is not good, but somehow they think their local one is an exception.
My favorite argument is
“well, I’ll just spend a couple hours each night to teach them my values instead of the schools’”
yep, they get them for 40 hours a week, you’re going to spend a few hours and unindoctrinate them... right...
Homeschooling only takes a few hours a day,
especially because you don’t have the disruptive students.
