I completely agree with you. Well-said. Which is why we home-schooled our three children. I know that not every family can homeschool their kids, but considering the tripe kids get in the public schools, parents need to be counteracting that at home.
I can truthfully say they received a very good eduction in all but OH, NH, and MA -- everywhere else the schools were very good to excellent but then two communities were very conservative and where my last two completed high school you could tell if the teachers were liberal or conservative in their classes for the most part which I liked.
