Yes! There **are** government schools that **are** so dangerous and culturally toxic that it would be better for the child to get *NO* education whatsoever than to ever go near them.
My kids were admitted to college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13. Since they couldn't drive, I had plenty of opportunity to see what was going on around campus. I personally witnessed several examples of youth who were nearly completely illiterate and innumerate. These illiterate and innumerate youth were **graduates** of county government schools. Along with these illiterates and innumerates were **armies** of government high school grads who were in somewhat more advanced by still sorely lacking.
What I witnessed at the community college was **amazing**! They were able to prepare kids and adults who were essentially illiterate and innumerate for college level work. It took about 2 years. Imagine that! The community college could accomplish in 2 years what the government school failed to do in 13. (Same kids. Same intelligence. Same rotten family lives. Same poverty. Same motivation. ) Amazing!...The community college could teach these kids but 3 months early their government school couldn't. Go figure! ( sigh!)
So...It is time that we disabuse ourselves of the NEA talking point that a child without a government sponsored indoctrination is permanently condemned to ignorance. We have too many community college remedial courses and GED grads to prove this notion false.
By the way...I noticed that you did not respond to my comment that thousands of children are on waiting lists for charter schools. Do you really believe that legislators will be deaf to their cries?
What college?
