Well, your post points up the biggest problem with govt education, and the reason I oppose public education at its foundation. I know there are good teachers like you, and parents who have been priced out of good private education in the same way people of lesser means are priced out of good, low-cost health care, and affordable food.

With the govt involved in education, our children's schools become labs for radical social engineering. Every bad idea gets forced FIRST on our children by the courts through the schools. ANd then govt bureaucrats get to try to solve problems on a macro scale that can only realistically/fairly be handled at the personal, micro level.

I hate govt education, not because I don't respect good teachers like you, but because it is a bad idea at its most basic level.

I would like to say that you are half right on this point. The other victim(s) would be the military. A perfect example is this notion of intentionally putting women into combat units.

I am all for equality, I just believe that this is a bad idea bad is nothing more than pandering. Either that or Obozo is hoping that when female POWs are violated, or killed that we will call for the removal of combat troops from the middle east.
