I'm fully in agreement with you on this issue - the public school system should be eliminated. But that said, just because the schools are failing it doesn't follow that all employees of public schools should be open to demonization. And it's just as true that articles (such as the one posted here) ridiculing homeschoolers are foolish. Too much vitriol on both sides, IMHO.

Free speech, American tolerance, and class separation can't manage to have incivility stand down.

That's what the government wants: to keep the slaves er, citizens, at each others' throats, so that nobody has the energy to oppose Massa.

Way back early in this thread, I posted at length as to the positive experience I had (quite voluntarily) with Dr. Susan Sheridan, once superintendent of the New Haven Public School System, a woman as liberal as you and I are conservative. She was, however, alarmed at the loss of public education quality in 1961 and was blessed by God not to be alive today to witness what it has become. Part of my vitriol is for good folks like her. Part for the kids who are gummint skewel inmates, Part for our country and our civilization.

God bless you and yours. There are some good folks in gummint education even today but they are exceptions and should evacuate to the private sector ASAP. Each one that leaves will enhance the ability to abolish the failed public system.
