> I’ll trust the experts who went to school and have ongoing training to educate my kids. That way I can focus on being a parent. Your duty as a parent is to educate your children. Why the hell would I trust the government to not indoctrinate my children? It is truly sad that many parents wash their hands of raising their children by passing them off to the government to be educated.

Almost as sad as passive aggressive internet comments. The implication that you are only a true parent if you home school or send to private school is laughable. Do you grow all of the food your child eats? It’s truly sad how many parents wash their hands of raising their children by feeding them something someone else grew or made. Do you diagnose your children’s illnesses? It’s truly sad how many parents wash their hands of raising their children by passing them off to some stranger to be healed. Do you teach your children to call the police or fire? It’s truly sad how many parents wash their hands of raising their children by passing them off to police and fire in emergencies.

  > The implication that you are only a true parent if you home school or send to private school is laughable. I did not say this nor did I imply it. Of course there are situations in which the parents are unable to homeschool. This does not make them any worse a parent. Even if you do homeschool, it's not uncommon to take some external classes as you get into the higher grades. I'm also not saying the that the parents need to write the math books they use, nor do they need to grow all food. But they certainly should feed their children with the food bought at the store. School is used to much as a day care and catch all. If it was more of a couple hours hours a week learning only math at school and at home parents actually took the time to teach virtue and discipline it would better.
