Excuse me, but who do you think you are to tell me what I should know?
I actually find it rather amusing how all you homeschoolers like to come across as if you know everything there is to know about public schools and dismiss what those of us actually involved in public school know to be true.
I'm not buying it. You like to think you know what is going on, but in reality all you know is what you are told by those who agree with you.
Well, I was just making a little flip comments, but since you've declared war:
The only discussion here is how badly do you want to be flamed and embarrassed...taking the public school side against homeschoolers here on FR. And BTW, I know exactly what the hell is going on in public schools...and of course have to continue to fund them. Their arrogant and ignorant teachers and administrators are everywhere, the pathetic work product is everywhere, stories about the bullsh-t that is taught in them goes on anywhere. They are, after all, PUBLIC Schools, and just because I didn't send my children there, does not mean I am no longer part of the public.
And while we're at it, you referenced a parochial school in your own background, so WTF are you doing now as the public school queen?
Um, 'what is going on in the publicgovernment schools' is clear for ALL to see.
Homeschoolers FOREVER; government schools NEVER!
