The public schools I went to couldn’t keep me busy. I even subbed for the teacher a couple of times. Imagine an 8th grader substituting for a couple of classes for the 7th and 8th grade science teacher while she took care of some things. Unfortunately, in my case, home schooling would’ve been far worse. I was mathematically, scientifically, and politically savvy beyond my parents by the time I hit Jr. High. High school was interesting simply because I was always one year or more ahead of 99 % of my class mates in science classes. I had really wanted to go to the nearest military academy but that was beyond my parent’s means, so I ended up in a public school where I was bored most of the time.

Rocky,

Maybe it is time to indoctrinate the 9th Circus with American law and values, not the crap they substitute for the Constitution.

I found another case for private schools. The 9th Circus Court said again it was okay to indoctrinate public school children with Islam!

No tofu sorry, but no kids so we won’t know how they would have turned out. What I do know is that Sasha brought up in # 5 a good arguement for homeschooling. Within my brothers and sisters, there is a split between those that educate privately or publically. Those that went public lived in school systems at the same level or better than what our parents gave us. And those that are in private don’t like what the public had to offer in ther cities so they chose private schools.

No Tofu, we should continue abusing children by sending them to those metal detector laced, baby-sitting gulags you call “public schools,” where kids can’t read, teachers can’t teach and parents have no say in whether or not their child (instead of learning to read) should be a willing participant in 3rd grade “Condom Week”

you moron.

tofu,

Our dear trolling leftie, there are more teacher incidents than you wish to acknowledge.

Let’s look at all the debris that comes from Public Schools.

Homeschooling is definitely the way!

Just look at what upstanding citizens homeschooling turned out with David Ludwig and Kara Borden!

I don’t agree at all with this teacher who inserting his personal political leanings into a vocabulary test, but Peejz would have us all believe that this issolate incident is overwelming proof that our public education system is broke beyond repair.

To suggest such issolated incidents mean we should consider sending our kids to “private” (aka ‘elitist’) schools or homeschool (overly protect our children from the real world they will face as adults) is just plain dumb.

You are as far off the wacky meter to the ‘right’ as any hardcore leftists you spit upon, Peejz. I could see her raising the next “David Ludwig”.

Isn’t Hillary Clinton one of those liberals who preaches about the joys of public education, but sent her daughter to private school?

steve, you mean morons like you?

Show me the public school kids that kill other kids, then tell me just how many home schoolers have gone on such rampages, steve.

You’ll find the home schooled kids are smarter, more well read, and better citizens than your average Democrat, and well above your average NEA dumbed down teacher.

Peejz, didn’t I send you the link to that quiz, etc.? I must be slowing down.
