Lack of Parent Involvment is the blame?
Yes. If parents don't monitor their kids' schools, and take an active role in shaping the education that is provided there, they're going to have a problem no matter *what* kind of school they're parked in.
So, logically, rationally, you are stating that not only is Gov't monopoly education the best way to furnish the minds of kids,
You have *really* got to work on your reading comprehension. I said nothing of the sort.
but that the SOURCE of the problem is the Parents??????
It is when the parents don't take charge of their kids' education, yes. If the parents aren't paying attention, the kids can be just as poorly educated in a private school as a public school.
Democrat, I accuse thee!!!!!!!!! (Fred, go fetch me a few bundles of firewood).
Oh, right, of course, only a *Democrat* would think that it's critical that parents be responsible for seeing how their children are educated, eh? Do you even listen to yourself?
Honestly, if it weren't so familiar it would be tragic. But you can type these words w/o a shred of recognition of what you are actually stating. Why is it that I have a strong hunch you have not attended a standard run-of-the-mill school anywhere?
Why is it that I have a strong hunch you haven't even understood what it is I've actually written?
Your copy of Rousseau Unabridged must be tattered and stained indeed ...
Sorry, your knee-jerk preconceptions are leading you astray yet again, *and* getting in the way of your ability to see what I actually said and did not say. Enjoy your wildly wrong conclusions, you seem to get such satisfaction out of them.

Hey, when I encounter an NEA cheerleader here at FR, I get skeptical. I know, I know, you have not indicated you support the NEA.
Ahem anyway ... I think the beam comment applies here...
I think somehow your words would be far more trustworthy if you'd spend a bit of time indicating how folks become more conservative and vote Republican more often as a function of being exposed to the overwhelming evidence of evolution.
But, that just is not something you are known for. It is a crying shame. Just think of it. Together, we might end once and for all this fruitless conflict, and unite to attack the real enemy! Liberal Facist/Commie Democrats who would love to legalize all sexual dysfunction, and above change the age of consent laws.
Heck ... it's just a function of imagination you know.
Sort of like what one finds out during a round of golf. I forget ... are you a golfer Ichneumon??
