Two of you, cute.

Being rude come with homeschooling, or is it just the few playing here? The few I have known never struck me as elitists.

Just note again, I never trashed anyones choices. I simply said "Parents need to empower their children.." and a tiny pile on began.

If you can disagree with that, we are worlds apart in what it takes to raise heathly children

It’s irresponsible for parents to send their children out to do the job THEY should be doing.

There’s no way to empower a six year old in the face of an authority figure they are told to respect and obey.

Children need to be children and not mini adults too soon. You’ll destroy their childhood.

Pulling your kids out of the public schools and starving the beast is the only way to deal with it. The only thing schools listen to is money. Cut the funding by not enrolling your kids and someone will finally sit up and take notice. If they won’t even fix the system for that, it deserves to die.

Parents have kept their kids in schools for decades under the delusion that by doing so they’ll be making a positive difference and help fix things.

That’s worked out real well so far, hasn’t it?

Besides, what I find most telling is your total silence in condemning this measure. All you’ve done is defend the public school system and attack homeschoolers. Is this your idea of how to fix the public schools system? *Empower* your kids to fight back after you’ve allowed garbage like this to get pushed through Congress?

Not rude. Just making an observation.

Only someone brainwashed by the system could defend putting your children in those sorry excuses for schools.
