Good start, although the alternative is still a bit too involved with federal gov for my liking.

Deny the State. Homeschool.
Hey! I resemble that remark.
I'm amazed that people still send their children to some strange insecure location to cavort with strange, sometimes dangerous - and always disease-spreading - peers, to be spoon-fed tidbits of factual knowledge dosed with heavy Statist indoctrination. It blows my mind that public education still exists in the 21st century. In an age of information, ignorance is a choice. Deny the State. Secure the safety of your children. Secure the education of your children. Homeschool.
They were. Indiana had some of the highest academic standards in the nation. CC is very likely a step backward. But the issue is less about the standards themselves--as pathetic as they are--and more with the source of the standards, the coercion used to get states to implement, and the baggage associated with them.I vaguely remember some comment about Indiana's standards being stricter/higher than Common Core, anyway. That isn't saying much, though.
Maybe there is hope for us yet.
Some people like the public school they drive their kids to 20 minutes and 3 towns over. There are still good schools, with good teachers and staff.
That is true. But the entire concept of public school is wrong on so many levels. And when it comes right down to it, it's just another form of welfare.
No. There are legitimate roles of government. But if it would fail the public good litmus test and/or the "personal responsibility" category, government shouldn't be involved.as with any civic institution
We will probably revert to the ones in place before CC. But the standards aren't even in the top 10 of what makes government schools so bad.Public education is in the like bottom 20% of the nation here...so it sure couldn't hurt. I just hope someone with half a brain come up with the new standards....in the meantime you won't see any of my grandkids in a public school.
If you think Public education is bad now, just wait until all the good teachers quit.
Kindergarten teacher: My job is now about tests and data ? not children. I quit.
Then you'll be left with the flunkies or mediocre teachers who can't get a job doing something else.
Education should NOT be run by politicians. Period.
