Don, I don't care what you teach your kids. Teach them whatever you want, just don't cry because MIT won't take them without an SAT (you know, that "evil gubmint" test).

Ha! All students must pass entry-exams to get into school, whether they were educated privately in a 'school', in a private 'collective', in a government 'charter' school or in any other government school. Who writes your material? It's not very good...

Please, seems like you are the loner here.

Of course, MIT may admit or not as they choose.

My point, that you have ignored all evening, is how can a defense of mandatory public education be made?

Mandatory public education was a risky scheme of Thomas Mann.

Do a Google on the name.

And if you really want your eyes opened, search on John Taylor Gatto.
