I did homeschooling once – that decision followed by continued intrusion in our lives by *gag* Child “Protective” Services. So I now give them a “bone,” send them to public school, but I deliberately subvert their practice of malpractice in education. My kids still pay the price, though. My 13-yo was asked to “leave” the discussion and sit in the hall when he gave a rather “informed” opinion on the 2008 election. My 17-yo was “conveniently” expelled for 90 days after distributing obviously illicit information, a bull**** excuse given as justification; so now he gets a full-time REAL education. Our 7-yo comes home and sees me blogging about Obama and tells me how “wonderful” he is – THE KID IS SEVEN, HOW WOULD SHE KNOW? “My teacher said…”

We know this won’t have a pretty ending, right?

Here in the States, we can’t teach kids the concept of fractions using 5000$ computers, special software, Internet access, and 50 administrators per school each earning 6 figures! The next time you hear about a major company moving jobs to India or China, thank a public school official! All of that great tolerance education and Black History Month, Gay-Lesbian-Transgendered Studies Month, and global warming nonsense has prepared our workforce to be completely unemployable!
