I prefer to choose my battles. Public schools are unnecessary. I would very much prefer to home-school my children. It brings the family much closer together and also enhances the children’s social skills and feelings of self worth.
And with the MIT online courses and Khanacademy.org., public schools really are a relic, even if teaching the way we want them to. Even if teaching the way we want them to, they serve no purpose other than to feed the children of the poor and give us free daycare. I don’t want my children raised by someone else.
I don’t disagree with your choice for homeschooling. But in the same vein, not everyone can afford to home school, and we must stop them from indoctrinating and making more democRATS. We must stop spending OUR tax dollars on salaries that then pay union dues that in turn go to support democRATS. Closing the public schools isn’t going to happen, and privatizing them isn’t likely either.
