Another reason to homeschool
The governing body of public (government) education in Washington D.C. is called the "District of Columbia State Board of Education." Apparently, no one employed there remembers that the District of Columbia is not a state. They can, however, demonstrate that other things can go on a cucumber besides brine and dill, even if the students would be hard pressed to spell "pickle."
Quick question: I no doubt see the advantages of homeschooling, but I also realize that it is not an option for everyone. From certain angles homeschooling can be viewed as a luxury. Since it's not an option for some parents, what would you say are the next best options?
Brian, IMO there are a lot of people in the private sector doing a lot of good work--from Montessori schools to parochial schools and more. The rule of thumb I've got is that the closer you get to government control, the worse things get.
Why? Because people know that if you've got a good product, you don't need to force people to buy it. It's the vendor of inferior, bad products that needs to use government to fund itself.
