Most mothers are never going to give up sending the kids to school, in order to home school. And I’m speaking as somebody who home-schooled all my kids.
People who demand “all or nothing” solutions, will get nothing.
The lesson we need to learn from how the Left was successful, is to look at what SMALL, INCREMENTAL change we can accomplish within a year or two, and all get behind pushing THAT.
The first incremental change we COULD accomplish, is getting the unions out of the schools.
I agree. It would reduce the highly organized political power of teachers. That would be an important move forward.
All conservatives, however, should understand that socialist-entitlement schooling was built upon a corrupt socialist ( progressive) foundation. It cannot be reformed for those reasons. The ultimate goal should be complete shut down of government schooling on every level.
