Breaking news?

See, now you're going overboard. No wonder your kids won't talk to you. Aren't you their friend?

Peer Leaders.........do they still call them jungvolk?

Great rant ... but don't think it's much different in private, even religious schools. Teach your kids well ... it's a tough, cruel world out there. Teach them well. &;-)

Indeed, sending a child to a public school is like playing Russian Roulette with his or her life. It's impossible for even the best parents to undo the damage done by eight hours a day of public school.

Ten years ago I observed the same stuff and got busy honeschooling the kids.

Funny, life: I now must thank the public school idiots for inspiring me to the most rewarding pursuit of my life.

The socialists, reprobates, and their well-meaning but misguided supporters, will twist a generation, and maybe even a nation, into the dust; disregard of natural and revealed law, and the didactic history of Western Civilization has already set them on a course of extinction. It'll be messy for a while, but there will be a remnant. Choose your children's destiny. You can do something small and significant, or large and ineffectual.

Those who know, know; those who don't will not change their minds for your excited alarms. Rather , eyes will open; and hearts set searching for light will find you in your kitchen, where you share learning and love. Your completed offspring will do themselves, and you, proud. Your great- grandchildren will hear your voice, not just note your likeness.

God has smacked you upside the head; and I pray , as others prayed for me, that you heed the call.

Looking up at the guidance counselor, I commented, "I would hate to see the unedited version!" The counselor assured me that I am "in the minority" re my world views, knowing we happen to be Christians because our child goes to a local private Christian school.

In Massachussetts, you might well be in the minority. However, you may find solace in knowing that -- according to Thomas Sowell, in his take-no-prisoners book, Inside American Education: The Decline, the Deception, the Dogmas -- educrats tell EVERY complaining parent, "Well you're the only one who complained," even when you're the thousandth.

Although Sowell's book came out eight or nine years ago, it's still the most comprehensive expose I know of, of both the schools AND higher ed.

The theory of evoution is scientifically impossible.

Try again, leaving out the nonsense this time.

The schools take away parental rights when it comes to sex and free expression and tell kids to poo-poo authority when it comes from Mom & Dad; but soon as the kid acts up in school - it is always the parents' fault. Kids want to watch MTV for the sex shows 24 hours/day - the parent's should be monitoring everything they watch and every lyric in every CD kids buy.

So Mom & Dad try to comply with this only to have it undermined when the kid goes back to school.

What a confusing set of contradictory rules the liberals have demanded parents comply with.

What a great thread!! Congrats.

More like "Breaking Rant."

Your message was lost in your delivery. I honestly couldn't tell which side you're on. Sorry, but it did come off that way.
