So 4 out of 5 8th grade students are not proficient in reading but 19 out of 20 Freepers who send their children to public school pretend that their schools are great. They aren't like all the others.

We have homeschooled our two daughters. The oldest will graduate this year. The youngest (14) was diagnosed with mild autism recently, and my wife’s sisters, who are teachers, and my sister, who’s a teacher, insisted that my daughter had to be in govt schools for her “special needs.” Against my wishes, we sent her off.
Believe it or not, despite the high falutin’ talk about IEP’s, it’s been an unmitigated disaster. She’s studying stuff she learned in fourth grade. They play Scrabble frequently, and almost everyday she corrects the teacher’s spelling.
From her description, school sounds exactly like I remember.
My wife is trying desperately to put a shine on the turd, but I’m already sensing weakness.
Mine went to public schools. He's now a nuke on a USN fast attack sub. I'll wager he's not only proficient at reading, but also able to find the logical flaws in that argument.
Public Skool parent here. I will be the first to state the school my child attend's isn't GREAT. I think it is what you make it. The parents aren't like all the others, I bet 19 out of 20 freeper parents actually CARE about their children's education. And...I bet 19 out of 20 freepers children actually could read BEFORE they even went to school. My youngest is a junior in H.S., he is taking some college credit courses. EVERY DAY I ask about his homework. I believe that even if we lived in Chicago, his grades would still be good.
Having said that, these good for nothing "Teachers" should all be fired, these numbers are disgraceful. CHICAGO TEACHERS SHOULD BE AHAMED! They call themselves teachers, what a joke.
