Whenever I see a lawn covered with signs for evil communist America-hating baby killers I know that a schoolteacher lives there.
I realized that later.
If it is, it’s a very good strategy.
I went to a one room school in rural Wisconsin.
8 grades 14 kids teachere with 2 years of ‘college’.
LOCAL school board consisted of the LAND owners surrounding the school...whether they had any kids-—kids already out ofmschool or kids actively in school.
ANNUAL school board meeting was heavily attended by parents.
BOOKS were reviewed by parents & board——and were often used for many consecutive years. MATH is MATH...
I would bet that at least 50% of those 14 kids got SOME college classes...
I would bet that 25% of those 14 got a college degree.
I am talking hard core farming area. late 40’s into early 50’s.
Myself & 3 brothers all attended that school.
ALL 4 of us have spent most of our lives self-employed. One brother had over 60 employees.
Today’s ‘school boards’ are ‘teachers’ who have no interest in a well educated child-—they only want obedient robots.
IF the registration & attendance at schools drops...maybe we can eliminate the traitors in the teaching system.
IF ELON MUSK would connect with a serious ONLINE education system & give those kids a discount on STARLINK, homeschooling would become viable.
