We need to find what the process is by which the curriculum in the public schools is chosen and infiltrate that process even if it means getting elected to school board or some other position and try to effect some change. Let's get rid of some of that politically correct, revisionist history that is being taught. <br /><br />I see the biggest part of the problem is that they don't TEACH any more in the public schools. I recently read an article where high school grads in Arizona were given the test that immigrants have to pass for citizenship and only 3.4% passed! They just are not teaching history and civics very well these days (aside from agenda driven teachers) and this has been going on long enough that we are getting uninformed voters into the mix now. The author of the article suggested that being able to pass that test be linked with getting a drivers license. Bet that would create some incentive! I would suggest a minimum grade of B+. Those of you that are stuck with the public education system could enforce this or something similar at home. At least until they take ALL parental rights away from us.<br /><br />No more social promotions either. Little Johnny doesn’t advance until he passes each grade. I don't care how long it takes. More incentive and peer pressure to boot. If someone has a GENUINE learning disability then we deal with it. I did. My son was dyslexic and couldn't read to save his life. We had to get him special help outside the system as our school district did not recognize dyslexia as a learning disability until the year he graduated.<br /><br />A.

Some of these truly do seem to consider it as a ministry and try to charge the lowest tuition they can.<br /><br />some guy in B'hamsome guy in B'hamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-8660790433303285532009-08-12T14:02:37.721-05:002009-08-12T14:02:37.721-05:00"The proud grandfather of 11 going on 12 gran..."The proud grandfather of 11 going on 12 grandchildren and all of the school aged grandkids are home schooled!!"<br /><br />I agree wholeheartedly.
