It's time to reform the public schools before it is finally too late --- before they FULLY change an educational system to just twelve years of baby-sitting and feel good mindlessness. Sure, concerned parents can take their children out of the public school system, but why should they have to.

Additionally, ALL of these children are our future. Why should we have to let this country go down the drain. The majority of concerned Americans and parents should demand and receive better. The time to act is now, not later and surrender.

The liberals are controlling how our tax money is spent and used to support or (more importantly) not support the education of all of the children. Viable alternates need to be developed and supported, until the public schools decide to actually teach again.

I'm sorry, Jerr, but you are not going nearly far enough--you are placing a bandaid on top of a massive wound. It is time to seperate SCHOOL from State. ELIMINATE the Department of Education, pull your kids out of government schools, support HOMESCHOOLING.

You ask why parents should have to pull their kids out of public schools: that's simple, in my opinion--they are YOUR kids, not The States! You brought them into this world, & a responsible parent should love, discipline, feed, educate, & train them into adulthood. Americans have been too willing to give these responsibilities to The State, & this leads to more State control over our lives, a $6 TRILLION national debt, & the break up of the family, to name a few. Karl Marx would love it.
