LOL. No. I meant that figuratively. To be precise, the schools should be auctioned off to the highest bidder once schools let out for the summer. Then the kids can go home, roam the streets, get jobs, apprentice, get homeschooled, go to a charity school or go to a private school.
Since this won't happen soon, plan B is to auction off the schools after school lets out for the summer and give everyone vouchers or tax-credits for homeschooling supplies.
Wow... I think I should stop Posting, if everyone else is gonna beat me to the punch. (grin)
FWIW, I will point out again that the Government Schools were instituted (in part) as a Protestant ploy to De-Catholicize Roman Catholic children... either you send your child to an Anti-Catholic publik skool, or you get to pay twice -- once to the publik skool (in taxes), and once to the Parochial School (in tuition).
Well, the "ploy" succeeded in part... publik skoolz have certainly de-Catholicized Roman Youth ("Hey... it's the Lenten season, we have to abstain from Meat and Sex on fridays!!" "Oh, yeah, that's right... Bummer!!")... but they have also de-Protestantized the Protestant Youth!!
Law of Unintended Consequences....
I'll close by saying that the land, buildings, and equipment Auction Value of the 90,000 Public Schools nationwide would add up to an un-freakin'-believable "School Voucher" or "Rebate" program if we had the Political Will to return Children (and tax dollars) to their Parents.
