I think it's a conspiracy to make sure that the people of America are uneducated and divided. Public schools do more than educate: They give people shared experiences. Kids being pulled out into unregulated private schools or homeschooled are not getting those experiences. It's a lot easier to mislead a divided, ignorant populace.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for bringing this to my attention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1153410795064151332006-07-20T10:53:00.000-05:002006-07-20T10:53:00.000-05:00Re the death of public education: Well said, and o...Re the death of public education: Well said, and on point.<BR/><BR/>As a history buff, I am increasingly frightened by how people's lack of knowledge and lack of awareness of history is causing them to make choices that will eventually impact all of us.

The idea seems to gain a lot of traction from the fact that most parents are not willing to wait for the system to improve while their own children are being educated with the current system. I know plenty of folks as progressive as you please sending their kids to everything from Montessori schools to Catholic schools because, when it comes right down to it, they are more interested in their child receiving the best possible education (as they perceive it) than they are in improving opportunities for children other than their own.<BR/><BR/>Can't say I necessarily blame them either, but it does make them vulnerable to manipulative tactics like voucher schemes that promise to send you free money to send your child to the school of your choice. If they would read the fine print (it's <I>between</I> the lines) they might notice that the money to do this is being taken out of public school funding and that, once the public schools predictably become a lost cause after years of willful neglect, the voucher schemes themselves will be de-funded, leaving quality education available only for the wealthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1153347032695339772006-07-19T17:10:00.000-05:002006-07-19T17:10:00.000-05:00Schlecht...sometimes pictures really capture a per...Schlecht...sometimes pictures really capture a personality (wink).<BR/><BR/>craig...a bitch gave a wee nod to that violation of personal space yesterday at the end of my posted thoughts on Scooter B speaking to the NAACP.
