"Again, you put your kid in public schools as a last and only final resort.. anything less and you are engaging in neglect and child abuse.
Don't trust the government with your health care, but let them have your kids 8 hours a day... Brilliant."
Of course you do realize that a "kid" is a baby goat. Nothing wrong with suggesting where good people put their young goats I suppose. Are you homeschooling by any chance?
I sure hope you are not being so presumptious and self-rightous as to suggest blatantly or implicitly that good people who choose the public school system for the education of their child(ren) are somehow abusive or neglectful. That wouldn't be very nice now, would it?
Now, if you were to refer to beautiful human children as something akin to young goats, that could be construed as abusive, wouldn't you agree?
Reality isn't nice.
Since you seem to think the word kid only definition is juvenile goat, I have to assume that you either don't own a dictionary, or are patently ignorant, or believe that creating red herrings is the equivalent of coherent thought.
Public education is the education of last resort, if it is anything else you frankly are guilty of abuse or neglect.
It always amazes me how many folks who claim to be conservative, will be adament about no government in their health care, or how government has destroyed this or that... are so vehement about defending giving their children to the state for 8 hours a day 9 months of the year.
They would never live in public housing, or want government control of this or that, but they willingly and willfully pass of their kids to the government to be educated. We don't need to have re-education camps to make sure folks think "right" in this country... most folks mindlessly send their kids of to them every day without so much as a second thought.
No, I don't homeschool my kids, and no they don't go to public schools.. and never will. I'll live in a 1 room shack if that's what it takes to have the resources available for their education.
I went to both private and public schools growing up, and that was a good while ago, and the differences between them were night and day, I learned that first hand.. and it is even more pronounced now.
To this day I work with children, and I can tell within a very short period of time of meeting a child with pretty uncanny accuracy if they are a product of the public school system or not. Yes, even those in the wealthier areas more homogeneous public schools.
