re: #167 Sheepdogess

I am sorry to say that I have lost faith in public education in this country. It has failed our children greatly. In my state, kids graduate from high-school knowing all about potlatches and longhouses but have little if any knowledge on how their “fedril gummint” works, or doesn’t work for that matter. And then there is the so called “socialization”, the word that is dropped as the best reason not to home-school our kids. They say “They will not be properly socialized at home”. But I won’t even bother going there. The socialization of our children at the hands of public education is complete. They should be very proud. They did it and they did it well.

Sexed up.
Dumbed down.
Stoned out of their minds.

Sorry for the rant.

Considering that schools are locally run with locally elected boards, you may want to ask some hard questions about that. The failure of schools merely reflects our failure as a society to have even the most cursory interest in knowing how or why our democracy is supposed to work. Oh, never mind…another episode of Dancing With the Stars is on. Priorities!
