Please understand that nothing less than the abolition of gummint skeweling will suffice to guarantee our nation's future.

I have no idea what "gummit skewling" is, therefore, I cannot answer your post.

BTW, when my daughter is with child, hopefully soon, she will be leaving the teaching PROFESSION to be a full time Mom, until her child enters Kindergarten.

From the posts I've seen on here, her work, and other dedicated teachers will never be recognized on this site. Like I've said before, GOOD teachers are overworked, and underpaid.

I guess your solution is to JUST SHUT DOWN ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ....and let all children be home-schooled. That solution would certainly save me tax $s.

My hope is that home-schoolers spend less time posting on here, and more time educating their children.

That would be my solution. I can't speak for BlackElk.

Gummint Skeweling is the pronunciation favored by its despicable most enthusiastic former advocate in the United States Senate: Ernest "Fritz" Hollings of South Carolina.

When your daughter leaves the gummint misedjamakashun racket to take care of her own child at home, she may grow close enough to her child not to bear abandoning that child to the gummint ignorance factories at which mom used to try to teach. She may love her child and homeschooling that child soooo much that she will present grandma with additional grandchildren to help your daughter into a real profession of motherhood: staying home loving and educating her own kids.

Good teachers ARE overworked and underpaid (in money terms) but they are seldom found working in the gummint ignorance centers. Also people here tend to be conservatives, i.e. capitalist by economic philosophy, i.e. favoring free market solutions like homeschooling or private (as different from gummint skeweling as possible) schooling ALWAYS over socialist brainwashing and ignorant socialist brainwashing at that such as is the norm in gummint skewels. That is why gummint "teachers" are not honored here or anywhere else among conservatives where objective truth is recognized. NO gummint teacher is "underpaid." We need government for armies and police but certainly not for misedjamakashun.

Dedicated teachers are the ones who get the actual education accomplished: almost unheard of in gummint skewels.

You are right about one thing. (Stopped clock/twice a day, etc.) My solution and goal as to restoring education is: JUST SHUT DOWN ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Those "schools" will not be missed and maybe, just maybe, your grandchildren will wind up actually educated (i.e. homeschooled or privately schooled).

Until the gummint skewels are no more, we will be posting as necessary in reaction to teachers' union propaganda and agitprop. Stop sucking up to the teachers' collective, errr, union, and squandering stolen tax money on the fraud that is gummint misedjamakashun and we won't care as much. Hold bake sales or bingo nights like private schools do.

The point is not, and never has been, to denigrate dedicated government school teachers. The point is that the system is utterly corrupt, that the government school system was a mistake from the beginning, and that there are relatively few teachers and administrators today (and fewer every year) who can honestly be said to be competent and dedicated. But I am glad that there are still a few teachers and administrators like that.

Adults who feel called to work in the government schools, however, need to tell the truth about the system to parents, not make excuses for government school failure, not tell parents that their schools are "different", or regurgitate NEA talking points attacking homeschoolers and private schools.

I know Christian teachers and administrators, including superintendents and school board members, who are telling the truth and counseling parents to get their children out by any means possible. They understand that institutions and individuals are not the same thing. You can have good people in a bad institution, and when you do, the institution usually wins. They recognize that and are consciously making sure that they aren't being co-opted by the institution.

I hope your daughter blesses you with many, many grandchildren.
