I think what got to me was a poster asking if Lucky9teen also expected her housing and food to come from the government.I found that a bit over the top.
That said,I’m fairly neutral on schooling since I think most of the values come from the home whether the child attends public,private,parochial,or is home-schooled. All can be good.
I also understand the concern over revisionist history. Three of my grandchildren attend public school in an ultra liberal town here in MA and they know who Harriet Tubman is but know nothing about Thomas Jefferson.Drives me nuts but I do my best to let them know SOMETHING about the founding of this wonderful country.
I wish you all well for the rest of the school year.
It was a rhetorical question. Of course Lucky doesn’t think the gov. should provide food and housing. The wording could have been kinder but the premise stands. Public school is a free service to parents from the government via taxes. Yes the parents provide some of the money via their taxes but it isn’t enough to provide an education for even one of their children.
