That will be a great leap forward for State's Rights  |
I am all for states and the communites running their own school districts. The smaller towns have more control because the towns social life revolves around the school activites.

Well my opinion is that not everyone can afford private schools. Not to mention there is not near enough of them. So a solution of that could be government funding which just turns private schools into government ones. Because the government will tell them what to spend there money on. So I do not see a permanent solution anytime soon.

Currently yes. But a gradual transition from Government operated schools to privately owned ones would be needed.
Also, if you listened. I stated the goal of vouchers for free tuition for the middle class and poor.

Each year less time is spent on academics and more on 'other skills', ie. touchy feely matters.
While reading and math are still being taught history, grammar, creative writing and even science are being replace by sex education, peer groupings, tolerance of non-mainstream lifestyles, and other areas mandated by governments. Most states regulate how many hours must be spent per week on each subject area but then add so many mandated programs that it is impossible to find the time to teach the subject matter.
Our schools are not being used to raise up a generation of critically thinking adults but instead a generation of compliant, namby pamby adults who will accept the nanny state that awaits them.

I've heard about such teachings as above and was never really sure if it were true or not. 
I guess things have really changed......For the worse.

If you are a parent, or legal guardian, of a student, in the public education system, go to the school. Monitor some classes, and see for yourself what is being taught.
