In the nation’s past, he said, “Most presidents homeschooled their children in the White House.… Parents educated their children because it was their responsibility.”

Idk about "Most presidents" but I do know the history of education in the US reflects a focus on its importance from the founding. The commitment to local public schools, not "homeschooling," marked the American landscape from pioneer days on. Check out the Ordinance of 1787 and its commitment to supporting public education. I worry that Santorum gets carried away with his own wonderfulness because he thinks it's still Iowa and nobody is watching.

The Federal Government has ruined our Education system with the aid of money.
Kids graduate without basic reading and math skills but know that abortion is a right, homosexual perversions are okay and if you can not make it on your own the Government is there to take care of you.
No wonder our nation is going to hell on the fast track..........

Most government schools are little more than warehouses for children, complete with the Ridilin and other drugs needed to keep them in a maleable stupor.

As much as I agree with Santorum about public schools they’ve progressed far beyond the industrial revolution.

They’ve been innovating of late. Now they’ve caught up all way with the level of educational excellence evident during the dogmatic central government training, of Hitler Youth.

I read the article in its entirety, but I didn’t find any information in there that tells me what Rick would do to reform our educational system. Is there another link where he lists a specific Plan he thinks will improve the system or replace it?

THe headlines on these articles are getting ridiculous. Those comments didn’t sound like “bashing”. The print media is in full attack mode.

In the Washington, DC district given their drop out rate and test scores, it now costs in excess of ONE MILLION DOLLARS to graduate a single student who is competent at their grade level in math and science.

What a grotesque waste of human and financial capital.

Santorum’s historical voting position on Education;

Voted to increase Federal funding for teacher testing

Voted to increase spending for the Department of Education by $3.1 billion.

Voted against requiring courts to consider the impact of IDEA awards on a local school district.
