THERE HAS BEEN SOME INTERESTING POSTS AND ARTICLES ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR SCHOOLS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM .Here is a link from GRI in Hawaii about maybe school should not be compulsory.
http://www.grassrootinstitute.org/GrassrootPerspective/LiberatingEducation.shtml Now before you get your panties in a wad just remember voluntary works for our universities...well... and other things in life.Also you could say that children need to be in school learning .Well look at what we are producing now .. a bunch of mind numbed robots who can't think,which is the desired result , the better for the elites to control people and get them to rely on government to run their lives .Plus all learning isn't accomplished at a desk .In fact institutionalized schooling is the problem.
A school of fish isn't a few minnows and a few bass and a couple piranhas with a added shark kicker .. its 25 fish all the same, well GOD didn't make us all the same and we don't all learn the same way
Our founders turned out some profound works and gave us the best country in the world and hardly any of them had a lot of formal schooling and for the first 50 years of our history the reading public was over 90 %.
You could also say that there are parents who aren't capable of teaching their children but remember they are a product of the system. Our founders believed we all are capable of running our own lives and tried to give us the freedoms to do so without government interference. If we aren't capable of screwing our lives up can we do any worse then the government
So maybe we need to look at how we are teaching our children
"Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe."
-- Thomas Jefferson (letter to Charles Yancey, 6 January 1816)
" It is almost a miracle that modern teaching methods have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry." Albert Einstein
" Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the governments purpose is beneficient." SCJ Louis Brandeis
