“lacking in nuance” is the closest we get to having a libtard say “I was flat wrong”.

Isn’t that taxation without representation?

the only thing the dems have to do is pass legislation tying state education money to follow the child, so a homeschool child gets money from the local school district to fund the alternate education. it would be a real education for the school boards, if nothing else.
A demand for respect for parents should unite black parents and Republicans.

Historically government schools have ALWAYS, IMHO, patronized black parents.

And the reality is that schools systematically judge children in a way that actually looks pretty ridiculous at any 50-year class reunion.

I say that as one who found high school to be much easier than most of my cohorts did . . . and, accordingly, was fooled into underestimating most of my classmates. I’m not proud of that, but there it is . . .

One of the curricula in HS should, IMHO, be the Dale Carnegie course - which is structured to build rather than to subvert the typical student’s confidence.

As Salman Khan points out, the historical method of teaching math and science - testing students and proceeding to the next topic when fully half the class didn’t demonstrate mastery of the topic. Which inevitably leaves half the class to struggle with more advanced topics the study of which is predicated on mastery of topics which they in fact have proved that they did NOT fully get.

. . . and, it must be said, too many math and science topics would bamboozle most adults who didn’t actively work in science fields and who never felt the need to learn them. Those adults - and the children who will grow up to resemble them intellectually - have to be accorded respect.

They still want the billions dollar budget, they just don’t want you to know how they spend it... Very little of it actually goes to your children, so keep ‘em at home!

Parents do not pay taxes for their kids. People with no kids still pay school taxes. Everybody pays school taxes to pay for their opportunity of a public education. If someone goes to a private school, paying for the public education never taken, is a hidden cost of a private education.

I think it would help public school students to realize that they are going to pay a tremendous amount of money to be there.

"lacking in nuance and easily misinterpreted?" Some how I have trouble finding the nuance or possible misinterpretation.
