This should be all the reason anyone needs to HOMESCHOOL!!! It's probably one of the most revolutionary acts one can do these days and believe me it is liberating to the whole family.

Either that or get together with a group of like-minded parents, students, and teachers and start your own traditional private schools.

Funny you should say that. My sister was born just as I started first grade, and I refused to go to school. My mother taught me from these little red English horn-book type primers. That's the only time I ever learned anything I tell her all the time. She taught me English literature and history, and how to sing God Save the Queen. My father taught me reading as well, and I've been reading since I was three.

Oh yeah I didn't go to public school, but I went to catholic schools that weren't great. Now I look back and am glad that even crappy catholic schools are still better than pubbies.
