"About time. If private citizens wish to assume the functions of government, let them meet government standards. If I want to build my own house, I still need to comply with the applicable building codes."
I say........"What the hell does education have to do with the damned Government? Show me where it says that any government should be in control of education. It's not in the federal constitution. And it isn't in any of the state constitutions that I've read.
Why is it that people are so willing to accept that government will do this or that for you.
I think that there are too many Mathew Lesco's (You know the guy who is on TV with all the question marks on his suit shilling for his book on how to get money form the government) out there who are willing to allow the government to control their lives and the lives of their children.
Since the federal government has been involved in education, the education of our kids has been degraded. To Heck with the NEA and the beurocrats who have made education one of their best ways of getting control of US.
It IS a perplexing question. But, homeschoolers, who pay the tax for pulik edukashun, as well as being one earner breadwinners are paying the price.
We think our kids deserve it.
