I'm not sure what gives you the idea that I didn't "notice." Also falling back to some kind of vague term like "common sense" is basically you just saying you don't have a point to make and that'd you

Your responses are exceedingly worthless and snarky, try actually putting forth some kind of substantive statement instead of following me around. A student that is placed into a public school has many teachers, with many other student peer

What is your point? Those people actually studied the subject. Are you going to claim that a parent is more qualified than them?

You didn't provide any examples, you just took what I said and treated it in a completely disingenuous manner. I didn't say high school aged graduates are "off." I am talking about fully fleshed adults, and in my circle

Personally, I've never seen a well adjusted person who was home schooled -- or admittedly one that I knew. I say this as someone who had multiple friends who were home schooled. There's always something a little bit "off&quot

The logical conclusion is obvious. We as private citizens, companies, and whatever have you, can denounce Breitbart and refuse to patronize them in anyway. We can spread awareness about the practices they use, and the people they employ. I

Poll's swing and sway. There's always a margin of error; that's all fairly elementary statistics. What is fake about reporting their own poll?
