When I called to inform the school superintendent that my children had lice in their hair, her response was that they recommend treatment when someone actually spots a louse in a child's hair, but otherwise they ignore the problem. My children had to be treated repeatedly for lice infestation.
One of my children had a severe dyslexia problem, but, though I informed the school authorities repeatedly, from kindergarten, they insisted that there was no problem until she flunked all of her 6th grade classes, required thousands of dollars worth of private psychological and neuropsychological testing to diagnose the dyslexia, and had to be removed from the California public schools and placed in an extremely expensive private school that addresses the problem of dyslexia.
When my wife asked me how the school authorities could have missed such a blatant learning disability, I observed that they're too busy teaching global warming, gay studies, and how to protest.
The public schools in California are doing what they were designed to do—train obedient servants of the totalitarian state.
Totalitarian states use mono-thought—all correct thoughts are taught to children, and incorrect thoughts are punished.
Free inquiry?—how quaint—a legacy of white male slave-holder rule!
Home school bump.
