LOL! Then why is PUBLIC SCHOOL failing? WHY can't PUBLIC SCHOOL teachers speak ENGLISH as in the Boston situtaion. WHY are public school kids SOOO STUPID? Is it because of the STUPID teachers that are CERTIFIED (insane)?WHY is it that HOMESCHOOLED children ALWAYS test HIGHER than PUBLIC schooled children and they ALSO win the MAJORITY of spelling bees?

Then why is PUBLIC SCHOOL failing?

The government schools are not failing, they are doing exactly what they have been designed to do. This did not happen accidentally, it was carefully planned, long ago, by the likes of Horace Mann, and John Dewey.

I’m all for reform in our education system and believe that home schooling is a great option for some. But your rant deserves some attention:

Then why is PUBLIC SCHOOL failing?

Failing by what measure? (Yes, I agree that it is failing many kids and parents.)

WHY can't PUBLIC SCHOOL teachers speak ENGLISH as in the Boston situtaion (sic)?

My kid’s teachers speak English. Perfect? No. But then, who is? I’m not familiar with the Boston situation.

WHY are public school kids SOOO STUPID?

That’s a pretty broad brush. Do you really believe that public school kids are stupid? Do you have kids? Are they stupid? Mine aren’t. (They have gone to both public and private schools).

WHY is it that HOMESCHOOLED children ALWAYS test HIGHER than PUBLIC schooled children…

Homeschooled children ALWAYS test higher? You're going to have trouble proving that. One exception breaks your rule!

… and they ALSO win the MAJORITY of spelling bees?

Interesting. What spelling bees did you include in your sample to come up with this?

Poor Mr. Evans. Perhaps he hasn't noticed, but the "professional educators" he's training are failing miserably.

LOL! Then why is PUBLIC SCHOOL failing?

You're assuming that socialist educrats like Mr. Evans have the same measure of "success" as you do. Public schools aren't "failing" if they are doing exactly what they were intended to do...
