remember the bells, the lockers, the grades, the control, the threats, the desks, and the random mix of values? public school includes books with some good information, but the attitude and behavior control reaks of a system designed to mold our children in to good, submissive servants of the corporate economic system. the rich can teach their kids how to run their business or anything they want, but we are given little choice but to let the state raise our kids while we go to work. home schooling is nice, but since we all can't stay home and teach, few are able to home school. why can't we get local control of schools, reject the bribe money from the fed, and pick our own style of learning for our kids?
