    Don't you just love how billionaires want to force simple hard working folk to commit suicide. Which is of course, for the greater good.

    I totally agree with both. It’s a big disappointment to me.

    Good question. I'm guessing it's an affirmation thing. They can't feel comfortable in their own lives so they force everyone else to "celebrate" them; or else...

    We're in the "or else" phase now apparently.

    From Pierre Kory and the FLCCC Alliance:

    BREAKING: Dr. Kyle Sheldrick, who accused Dr. Paul Marik of academic fraud, has publicly acknowledged that his allegations were incorrect and expressed regret for questioning Paul Marik’s integrity.

    I'm "lucky" enough to know a lot of teachers, the majority aren't ideologues, but that is also a problem because they are no defense against teachers who are. They will offer no resistance to other teachers.

This is always the problem with arguing for better schools of any kind. You can do all sorts of things to make a school better in theory, but who is going to teach in it?
    2. In the 21st Century West means it is often no longer possible to maintain a decent standard of living without both parents in full-time jobs.
    3. Since the invention of the iPhone and since the pandemic restrictions in particular, children are increasingly isolated and stay indoors at home whenever they are not in school. Homeschooling in isolation is a very different prospect to homeschooling with a supportive community of like-minded families around you.

    I am all in favour of the idea, but these are difficult problems to address.

    Devils advocate, what are the reasons you would send your child to public school? that aren't "because that's the way it's done"

    On the topic of the American farmer, if you all haven't read Wendell Berry then I highly suggest doing so. Some of his work is life changing stuff. Definitely required reading.

    There’s another way. Long ago I was (accidentally) pretty close to some of the key people driving this:

    Midtown Educational Foundation

    One of the leaders understood private and home schooling as well as anyone, but would not give up on the public school system.

    You do what you have to to protect your family, but that doesn’t eliminate the need for intermediate institutions such as Midtown (boys) and Metro (girls).
