Drag Queen Update....

Home school produces millions of well adjusted and well educated kids as well...without the political crapola in most cases. In my experience, some public school systems do a much better job than others. It's on the parents to find a good one, afterall they are giving their kids to the government education complex to train for adulthood 8 hours a day, 5 days a week...it takes involved parents to tip the odds in their kids favor. Unfortunately...that's not always happening in many public school systems.

Wish there were easy answers....but there isn't.

Read an article today in the NY Times stating public school educators are leaving the field at the highest rates ever recorded. Mainly jumping ship for a better paying non-education job, or leaving the field due to the lack of community support (I read that as involved parents).

I'd like to see Industrial Arts make a comeback in public school as I firmly believe not all our youth need to go to college to be successful in life.

Can you even begin to imagine these kids in that environment. I can. As much as we truly need this it would be a disaster at 1st. It would take a well monitored and controlled class environment. JMHO of course.

I too wonder what Michele obama has been up to.

I have no doubt of that. I think we've found a common theme, "It takes involved parents." Personal choice but as long as we are involved, kids do well.

I thought this would fit here.

Aside from our 1 year fiasco, attempting to home school, our kids attended Hammond Baptist Schools and Hyles-Anderson college.

Home schooling is very difficult. There are a lot of private schools that will not indoctrinate your kids. It does not need to be a Church school.

That guy sounds more like a politician with every video.
