“not able to home school either from a financial or ability standpoint.
People who think that way, have low responsibility, and have chosen to be victims”
That may be the case for them, I don’t disagree with your assessment BUT the reality is most generally do wish their children would get a decent education. Sadly, a good number of children today are born into single parent households and they fit the description of financially unstable and intellectually reduced households. That does not mitigate their desire for decent educations. The system needs to be cleaned out top to bottom by getting rid of tenure, unions, and instilling school discipline. If a student choses not to cut it, kick them out, put them in reform schools or juvenile facilities but get the bums out. On the other hand, everyone home schooling their kids is not the answer IMO, it is avoidance.
Avoidance of what? Mandatory government schooling? Where in the Constitution does the government have the authority or mandate to implement a program of compulsory education? What state has such language in their constitution?
When individual communities of people chose to pool their efforts and create public schools for their own children, public schooling was a good idea that produced honestly educated Americans.
Statists, globalists, Communists, and other social miscreants soon realized that gaining control of, and expanding such an institution, would give them the means to imprint their boilerplate ideological dogma upon the impressionable young minds in the classroom.
In only a few generations, they gradually dumbed down the curriculum, and injected their destructive agendas into the daily regimen of lessons, effectively re-purposing the original intent of public education.
Avoidance? Oh, hell yes. To do otherwise, is to feed your children into the mouth of the beast.
