There’s nothing in this world that the government can’t screw up once it gets its hands on it, education included. that alone should be reason enough to prohibit governmental control of education.

Tens of thousands of homeschool parents across this country have been proving for decades now, that they can do a better job for less money educating their children than any teacher or politician or other government bureaucrat. An education degree is not needed to be able to teach and government control of curriculum is not demanded to ensure a good education.

Control of public education is not a power enumerated to the federal government.

IOW, the government has no Constitutional authority to meddle in public education. Public education then becomes a states rights issue at the most.

Hiyas, mm.

For decades, statistical relationships between the richness of education experienced in the real world, especially at the behest of parents, has been a root cause of higher IQ scores across the board. It only makes sense. What you teach your own child at your knee impacts what he learns and how fast he learns. For the rest of his life.

And who benefits when you and others like you remove yourself from the equation? Unless like minded people get elected to school boards etc.... then the monster will continue to grow. Sure you will all be able to sit back and congratulate yourself on how prescient you were to remove your children but then the whole suffers even more.
