About schooling:
I’ve met quite a few young adults in and around the ski area over the last decade. Most of the smartest people I met went to Jesuit schools, parochial schools, what have you, mostly from the south and midwest. A friend of mine who went to Sacred Heart Academy in Louisville, KY and graduated cum laude from the University of Georgia informed me recently that they had to read One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez for 8th grade literature! That’s something else, I thought.

Truth be old, education varies widely in this country. I went to a public school (and one year of Charter School) near a large busy ski area in Colorado, I received a more-than-decent education, as most public schools I guess are funded with property taxes. I suppose with the failings of poorer public schools, parents are righteously trying to find a way to teach their children properly, home schooling is one such way. Home schoolers miss out on institutional education and its supposed benefits (more interaction with other children, etc.).

But these home schoolers teaching that dinosaurs lived alongside humans? That should be against the law.
