Mark Levin had a good show last night on Fox with Katie Pavlich and Candace Owens on talking about just this subject. Ms. Owens stated that the left has gotten even worse than we know and is steadily increasing their push.
I just enrolled my Daughter is K. However at a Catholic School. So far I am very pleased as in the past 2 weeks I have had several 1 on 1 with the teacher, and some serious discussions with the principal. There is a lot of parent teacher interaction at the school.
I just found out that schools do NOT teach cursive writing anymore. Think in 50 years someone finds a document written in. Cursive. They won’t be able to read it.
Public schools are massive, public bureaucracies. They go to the lowest common denominator. Imagine if you simply sent your kids to the DMV or DPW to be “taught?”
Well, public schools are no different.
A lot of parents have woken up and are appalled at the disgusting state of our public school system.
But that is only half the solution. The other is for the parents to DO something about it. Something meaningful, that is.
Not enough of them are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to properly educate the children they themselves brought into the world.
You don’t NEED a new car every year; you don’t NEED to fly first class when business class will do; you don’t NEED to spend every waking minute chasing the almighty dollar - the children should come first.
I have 4 kids, youngest 35y/o, oldest 45. As a single dad, I put all 4 of them thru private school and 3 of them thru college. All are doing well. Best thing I ever did.
“Ever since I became a parent and faced the options for educating our daughters, I’ve become increasingly antagonistic toward public schools.”
And let’s not leave out our colleges and universities, both public and private. If we really wanted to preserve our Republic, we’d burn 90% of them to the ground today and drive their “professors” into the sea.

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
