This would result in too many children being uneducated, or very poorly educated.


Besides - locally flexible charter schools would be able to avoid the same problems you are concerned about.

As if they weren't now!!!!!!! Many graduate public high schools and couldn't make change on a cash register if it weren't automatically done. I've seen college students who couldn't tell you which part of a map represented water and which represented land. A parent who homeschools can accomplish more in 2 hours that what could be accomplished in a classroon in 6. Discipline, role takes, useless government paperwork, programs that look good on paper , but give reality the shaft are the norm.
On the other hand, if you want your kid to lose respect for the concept of sovereign states, and be propagandized for a military dictatorship, through the unelected officials of the "glorious United Nations" on some fine near future occasion, public school would be fine for you; but I shouldn't have to pay for it with the tax $ I work my ass off to earn.
God gave kids to parents, not to school boards; and I'll have to agree with His wisdom on this one.
