Also....Please note that I am very careful to address the **broad** issues of godless government schooling. Although it is possible that in the past half decade or so that I may have strayed from this principle on rare occasion, my posts are NOT directed at any specific individual.

You paint in broad strokes to create straw man arguments.

And you have done nothing (by your own repeated admission) To fix the system. Instead you sit in front of the computer making these broad generalizations with out dealing with specifics.

The devil is in the details. What percentage have the financial resources to home school?

What percentage of parents have the desire to home school?

What percentage of children want to be home schooled?

BTW you still have not congratulated me on receiving a third Masters degree, this one in Educational leadership/ administration.

You also have not told me what you intend to do to help me improve a system.

Now try to address real issues with real solutions instead of your straw men.

To fix the system.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Again! Godless, single-payer, socialist-entitlement, government K-12 schooling can not be fixed **because** it is godless, single-payer, socialist-entitlement and owned and run by the government.

I will not comment on education degrees, specifically or in general, because I fear you would take my comments to be personally directed at you.

As for your comments about homeschooling, I have consistently, throughout this thread mentioned private schooling together with private schooling. We don't have a well developed system of tuition-free private schooling because the government monopoly cartel has disrupted the free market and discouraged private philanthropy. ( Please remember that colleges and universities, unlike K-12 education, have endowments in the billions upon BILLIONS! ) If government had never interfered in the education market perhaps not only U.S. children would be enjoying tuition-free private schooling but also every child in the world. ( Yes, as a nation we were and are that wealthy.)
