Most parents often do a better job of teaching than do "professional" teachers.

We have screwed up teaching and education and turned a calling into a union job with union work rules, benefits and predictable results.

Life Success now comes from overcoming the mandated mediocrity and sheep-like dependency that are the hallmarks of the professional educator's work, and not because of it.

A public school education is every citizen's built in excuse for failure. What did you learn in school today other than self esteem, son? "I learned, "It's not my fault!""

Exactly! They are not "schools" they are "union shops".
