Ah well, here it goes..
Homeschooling is the answer. Public schooling consumes $5K to $10K per student per year. Homeschool families can do a much better job with less than 10% of that. Want a HUGE TAX BREAK?. Encourage home schooling! The side effects will be a better educated population, more mature young people, responsible parents, and a society that values the family.
"Outsourcing" the education of children and young adults is a BAD IDEA.
What are the arguments against?
Can't afford it? One can homeshool for a few hundered dollars a year, if that; probably nothing if you are resourceful.
Can't do it; ain't smart enough? Learning takes motivation. Get some. Be resourceful. Ask a friend or neighbor to educate you on your weaker subjects. Teach the kid to read, and they can virtually education themselves. Teach yourself something. You might find out you have a hidden talent your public schooling never tapped.
Not enough time? What are you wasting your time on? TV? Both parents working? Too greedy to give up your time for the future of your children? A kid goes to school for what.. 6 hours or so. 2 of that is recess and lunch, and this n' that. So maybe 4 hours in the classroom. Probably half of that is wasted away on disciplinary issues, 30:1 teacher ratios, etc. You can do better.
Live in a state that basically forbids homeshooling? Move.
Your child will suffer socially? Yeah, we live in a society that lacks so much opportunity to interact. Do you know your neighbors? Invite them to dinner. How about your brother or sister? Or parents? Or maybe someone at Church, or community group? Make some friends and spend time with them.
The school system and teachers are the experts? I want the best for my kid. What do they know about your kid? What kind of expert consistently runs overbudget and consistently produces a poorer and poorer product? That's not even the point. Whose responsibility is it to raise your child?
Both parents have to work. Probably not. They may have to lower their standard of living. That's a poor choice of words. They'll be spending more time as a family, in essence much improving their standard of living.
Single parent. How come? (There are some valid reasons) Your public schooling decayed your morals and you made some bad choices? Find support in your community. Be resourceful. Set a better example for your children. Leverage your family. Read the above statement in regards to "Not enough time".
Ah.. this list can go on and on and on. You are either bubbling with enthusiasm or steaming with resentment. Take responsiblity for your emotions and actions. Then for your children. Or move to another country where the governemt will "take care of you". I hear Burma and North Korea are pretty good at that.
