Homeschool. If you EVER get wind that your public-schooled children are being subjected to this sort of total crap, yank 'em out of that Indoctrination Center as fast as you can run and homeschool them.

That is a quick and easy way out, but then you are running away from the problem. Instead of yanking your child out, the best thing you could do for not only your child but every child in that school is to get those involved yanked out. Your idea is not helping to change anything. I am very blessed where my children attend school and extremely involved at both elementry and middle schools. I am a big advocate of volunteering at your childs school, that way you know what is going on and get to know the teachers, children and other parents. It is a win win situation, and yes I do work outside the home.

As a five year mentor myslef, I can tell you it won't change anything. The outcome based "education" they are all using is useless. They have used students as guinea pigs for their Deweyism long enough. It is not "running away" to homeschool. It is a proven advancement.

Quick? Easy way out?

Let me clue you.

You pat yourself on the back for your "involvement" at your kids' school. Fine. Try this:

Stay home, for YEARS, get up every day and try to teach 4 or 5 kids in different grades......simultaneously. Keep meticulous records. Each child has about 12 textbooks, no matter the grade. Figure out ways to do without lab facilities, etc., and still prepare your kids for college. No sleeping in, no soap operas.........you and the kids......for hours every day.

Try that with seven kids for over 18 years as my wife has (I assist as needed; I'm the one who works outside the home so that she can do this).

TELL me about "easy way out"..............
