More Reasons to Yank your Kid out of Public School
It's so sad that there are so many people who have no other choice than to send their kids off to public schools every day. They truly need our prayers. For those who have the financial wherewithal to have educational choices and continue to make their kids attend public school, I have much less sympathy. Still, the poor kids are the ones who have to put up with all the crap subjected to them day in and day out.
Michelle Malkin's current column, Victims of the blackboard jungle, chronicles the outrageous rape of the 16-year old disabled girl at Mifflin High School in Columbus, Ohio last week. Please be sure to read it.
This is just the most recent horrific account of "life in public school." Much of what goes on in the "protected" halls of education is never reported by administrators who care more about their own jobs than the poor souls in their "care," as Malkin reports.
Each week seems to present ever more reasons why parents should totally boycott public schools by pulling their kids from the rampant abuse extant in government sanctioned schools. There was a time not so long ago when parents who decided to "home school" their kids were chided by nearly everyone for depriving their children of the all important "socialization" they would be missing . That was a lame excuse then and one that you don't even hear today due to the total breakdown of public education.
Home education is flourishing and colleges across the country overtly seek out homeschoolers because of their high performance on SAT's and because they can actually read and write. Public education is a national embarrassment and the general consensus is education has taken a back seat to social (indoctrination) programs and the powerful teachers unions are more interested in advancing left wing secular political agendas .
While not all public schools are horrific, parents (who are ultimately responsible for the education of their children) have the moral duty to actively determine whether or not the local schools are aptly qualified to be given the huge responsibility of educating their children.
When the failing school system offers little hope of reformation, parents have to make some difficult choices. Choices that may even affect their lifestyle...gasp! But it's for the kids and that makes tough choices a little easier to do the right thing.
Speaking of choices, the Heritage Foundation has a site which may offer some direction in the way of school choices in your state. (H/T World Magazine Blog)
