“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, parents and students who are upset by this should walk away from schools that diminish their faith and tell the administration why they are doing so. Who would willingly send their kids to a school that mocks their children’s beliefs?”
People who can’t afford $5K private school tuition on top of $7K public school tax annually. For many people to do that (especially here in NJ), parents would have to work so much they’d never see their children. Homeschooling is an option easily discussed for younger children, but as they grow older this becomes more impractical (unless both parents are PhDs).
How many high school teachers in public school systems have PhDs? Heck, how many private school teachers have their PhD? Since the answer is “almost none,” how are these people managing to teach 30 kids the stuff you say my wife and I can’t teach one kid?
The very idea that it takes an advanced degree to teach or facilitate the learning of stuff you’ve already mastered in detail is just absurd, and that characterization was said to me by a high school principal friend of mine who has a masters of English and Ed and an honorary doctorate.
The solution is a tax writeoff for parents who use private schools. Unions will hate it, but it will help immensely.
All collectivist government indoctrination camps ( mis-named “schools”) are godless! The very minute a child steps foot into one of these collectives he begins his godless indoctrination.
It is better for a child to learn **nothing** at all than to learn to think godlessly.
Every government collectivist indoctrination camp ( mis-named “schools”) in this nation is a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination. **ALL** of them! ( The good, the bad, and the ugly.)
LOL
You think kids are learning anything in government schools that it takes a Ph.D. to teach?
I'd say the average parent is probably as capable, if not more capable, of teaching than the average education major.
