Interesting idea that could be made even better by streaming it online.

Now there is something I can get behind 100% - too bad he won’t have the chance to eliminate the Dept. of Education - even Reagan failed miserably on that one.

The last thing we want is a federal official “fixing” the schools. The only thing a president should do about the schools is shut down the Department of education and toss the responsibility back to the states.

This is B.S.

Home schooling is not for everyone. It’s for an elite few, committed and fabulous though they may be.

Most people are not equipped to do it. They don’t have the money for one parent to stay at home and do it and most parents are not mentally and emotionally equipped to tackle this. I know I’m not.

A far better thing for Santorum to run on would be improving schools, defunding the NEA, stopping the unions which protect bad teachers, and, most of all, promoting school choice and vouchers.

This paints him as a sort of fringe, holier than thou guy, in my opinion.

Rick is the right guy for the wrong time. We need someone that can take out two people: Romney then Obama. The stage has been set and Rick knows he is not going to be on it. Time for him to step off and let Newt do the heavy lifting.

There is only one, only one that can withstand what the Obama machine is about to unleash and that is Newt. Romney will be pissing his pants IF he would get the nomination after the attacks. Romney doesn’t have the balls nor the nature to take on the machine like Newt will.

Newt is the only one of the candidates that has the political background to campaign against these corrupt son’s of bitch’s. Newt will take it to them and make no mistake about that. Newt is the only one that can go nuclear on Obama. And that is what it is going to take.

If Rick went up against Obama it look like Mr. Rodger’s against Genghis Kahn.

GO NEWT!!!!!!!!

Or stop funding them. Publication education is a tremendous flop and a drain economically....needs to be done away with. At the very least, concerning federal involvement.

I don’t think most people realize just how bad the schools are these days. The schools don’t even want kids to be able to learn on their own. That stands in the way of the ideological indoctrination required to create a society of dependent, compliant, robots.

I went to a public school myself but it was long enough ago that we still had teachers who were there because they loved teaching and seeing kids learn. These days, there isn’t a chance in hell that I would send a kid to my old school.

The public schools are beyond fixing. Sorry.

Kids aren't learning relevant 21st century skills like programming or rigorous science they are learning Gay History in California (soon to be the entire USA).

The NEA has so crippled US schools that they have become a joke and you can learn better online.

I remember the exact moment when my thinking went from wanting to fix the schools to realizing that it was hopeless. It was when I read the “We are one” pledge form being given to students so they could pledge to stand for collective bargaining rights, social justice, and against worker oppression.
