Indeed.

However, as homeschoolers, we prefer to teach self-RESPECT. We will leave the vanity of self-esteem to the tax-funded, union-run government indoctrination centers.

A few points of my own.

* “Public Schools” are better understood as “The Bus Ministry of the State Church of Secular Humanism”.

* “School Districts” are better understood as “School Collectives”, considering their Marxian origin.

* “Public School Teachers”, by their own union literature, are better understood as “Change Agents”, a Maoist term adapted by Carl Rogers, the co-inventor and promoter of “Affective Education”. Take note that “Affective” is not the same as “Effective”.

* “Public Schools” typically employ the lowest common denominator, one-size-fits-all model of teaching.

* John Dewey, touted as the “Father of Progressive Education” by the Teachers’ Unions, was an atheist and socialist and a cosigner of “The Humanist Manifesto”.
