Here is food for thought, especially for those who support “public education” and rally about the doctrine of “socialization” that they claim is lacking in “homeschooled” children.
Let’s look at what “public education” has to offer:
1. Cliques and rampant bullying, quite often the victim of bullying punished more harshly for fighting back. Many times, bullies are part of a “protected” class–racial minorities, jocks, etc. Strong official disapproval of students making friends outside their grade level. “Peer pressure” used to push conformity.
2. Teachers that don’t teach reading writing and arithmetic. Pushing communist principles such as rabid environmentalism, blaming humanity for conditions beyond our control as well as pushing “communitarianism” (“it takes a village”)–actually communism. This also ties in with teacher-recommended feminizing and drugging (mostly boys) to make them “less fidgety” and more compliant–all for the “benefit” of the teacher.
3. Non-existent moral guidance…the communist concept of “values clarification”, allowing each student to set his own moral standard with no discussion permitted as to guidelines. A student dare not mention God or the Bible in “public school”–not permitted…discussing Islam is OK…even field trips to mosques are encouraged.
4. Sex education that normalizes homosexuality and other deviant practices, actually encouraging deviant behavior and downplaying heterosexuality and abstinence.
5. Insane zero tolerance practices, punishing students for pop-tarts shaped like guns or a student having an “unauthorized aspirin” or plastic butter knife. Of course, abortions and birth control are available without parental notification.
6. Lockdowns and backpack/locker searches by police utilizing “drug dogs”, getting the upcoming generation used to random unconstitutional searches. Quite often, students “roughed up” by “school resource officers”…just because they can…Lockdowns should be reserved for prisons–not schools…
Since these “socialization” practices seem to be the norm in our “public education” systems, parents who send their children to these dysfunctional “indoctrination centers” are guilty of child abuse…
Children who are homeschooled actually do much better in life as they are comfortable with people of all ages. True socialization takes place outside the classroom.

After a fair dose of #1 and hints of #6, we pulled our two out of public schools and homeschooled both up to college. First has a degree in English, although full-time employment is scarce; second is two years out from graduating in computer science. Doesn’t appear to have hurt them in any measurable way, except they are less stupid than most Millennial types.

My son is in his 3rd year of a computer science program. He is neither repeating what he is told or following orders. He is studying a technical discipline.

Consider changing Modern Education to Moron Education
Admin’s cartoon (above) sums up the Rockefeller mindset to a T – we don’t want people who think, we just want “workers” who “do as they are told” – and that’s from 1902!!
You’ve got the “Education System” the wealthy (and “influential”) wanted, which is the same one as they currently want. America, you know – where “Competition is Great”, only as long as it benefits the connected. Once ‘Competition” starts to affect THEIR bottom line, then “we MUST have Protectionism”, which is exactly what you are seeing with Trump’s “anti-China” rhetoric.

anarchyst: “Teachers that don’t teach reading writing and arithmetic.”

Better yet, teachers letting students get away with using “that” in referring to people, when “who” is correct.
Teachers who teach English composition (’cause if you can’t write lucidly about a subject, you really don’t know fuck-all about it) incompetently.

True, Tooch, but anarchyst will still paste that same comment into a dozen other threads here and elsewhere. Maybe he’ll correct his grammar before reposting it, though. You gotta try, right?

Modern education is getting a hole drilled in your head, having your brains sucked out, and filling it full of shit.

Well, “The Wealthiest Man Ever” had quite a lot to say where the collectivisation of education was concerned https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller
