Denene Reppa, mother of one of the Cedar Lake, Indiana students who now must run to their lockers in between each class to get the needed book instead of being able to carry several in a book bag, said, “Those types of organizational skills will transfer when she goes to college. Very important … She can keep her other things in there as well that kind of relate to her being a female."

Denene, if your daughter is as garbled as you are, I suggest you spend the college-tuition savings on a cruise.

Good article, in some ways, but the real surrender of authority occured when parents turned child-rearing over the the state. All the rest is just details.

Exactly! Vouchers, and home school, or home school groups beat the public system. However, the system needs to be fixxed with old-fashioned discipline.

Yes. Government schooling, the NEA and our universities were infiltrated by Marxist-socialist Frankfurt School minions. And our government is grabbing them at an ever-younger age through early childhood $$$ for public schools.
