You don't know ANYTHING about my situation, yet you sit in judgement.

I wasn't referring to you particularly. The general point wass that most people are trying to avoid the truth about the public schools because it is appalling. The usual excuse is that their public school is "different" - just like their congressman (it's those other ones that are bad). Again, I was responding to a theme, not your situation, whatever it is.

One need not know of your personal situation to condemn gummint skewels. One need only to recognize theft when one sees it and to be familiar with gummint skewels to condemn both.

BTW, no one is condemning or even judging you. We are condemning public schools as such. Unless you are personally a public school or a National "Education" Association, you are neither condemned nor judged.

If your personal circumstances leave your kids in public schools, and you are doing the best you can, good for you! Encourage your kids to spend time at libraries and to read a lot of the best stuff so that they may overcome their gummint skeweling. It will be hard but worth it.

If one says that Dr. Jarvik or Dr. DeBakey is a better choice of cardiac surgeon than J. Random phsyician at a welfare clinic, one is not insulting the patients of any of the three. Likewise the fact that homeschooling and most private schooling is quite superior to PS 666 does not insult the students of any of them.
