Perhaps it's in the Constitution? Oh wait a minute, can't seem to find it there.

You're in Pennsylvania. Here's what your Constitution says about Public Education.

Article II Legislature
Public School System
Section 14.

The General Assembly shall provide for the maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of public education to serve the needs of the Commonwealth.

Now there's an oxymoron! Give me a call when they get that in place and I'll take a second look!

It just says "provide" not "force everyone into them".

Once again where does it state that attendance is mandatory in said public school system???????? Please show me where in the Constitution of the United States of America it states that all children are owned by the state and must attend public schools or only those schools approved by the goverment????

CJ, ALWAYS "the needs of the state". I would venture that public schools in both Penn., and Texas, as in Maryland have failed miserably in providing an "efficient system of public education" that serves to educate the young. Perhaps they need more money to better their abysmal failure. Serving the children hasn't been a goal of public education for awhile now. Only serving the educators and the "state".

Home schoolers with RARE exception serve their students needs to learn. And, the "unlettered" with rare exception are far superior to the many lettered when it comes to actually education their children rather than training the children to be "good citizens". As the article suggests, THAT strikes FEAR into the hearts and minds{?} of the elite. Peace and love, George.
