Well, I agree with the voucher part, but the closing down of public schools thing strikes me as going a bit too far.

What did you learn in public school other than how to ditch class?

After I got out of high school, I had to take all the same classes over again as part of my undergraduate studies. So what good was my public high school education?

***Your public High School education was worthless. Here’s where I discuss that subject...

We have been discussing ways to fast track kids through high school to avoid the liberal agenda and other idiocies:

Proposal for the Free Republic High School Diploma.

I have been using the tag “chspe” to remind myself & others about the articles that have discussed this approach.

Sounds to me as if your undergraduate studies were a waste of time and money, since they just repeated what you'd already received in high school.

Perhaps that was your experience in High School. My own was that after High School and four years in the Air Force I went back to college. When in basic Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, etc, people would say “Wow, where did you learn that?” I would say “A little place we liked to call High School.” But then again I took all college prep courses, and I guess they worked as advertised.
