Actually, the parents in the article are "progressives" ( == Marxists), who probably decided that their kid would not get ENOUGH marxism in the govt schools

That's cool, though. My homeschooled kids will have read every work by Ayn Rand, Locke, Jefferson, etc I can feed them by the time they graduate

My 16 year old goes to public school. He attends his local high school for 1/2 day then goes downtown to the technical school for his computer classes. The tech school is state of the art, comparable to many college level computer curriculum.

He is running into all kinds of beauracratic garbage as he tries to take advantage of the opportunites offered:

Teachers refusing to stay past 4:00 pm to allow him to take a make-up exam. (legit abscence)

Making the kids have a Novell 5 certification before allowing them to enroll in the Linux class (Novell 6 is the current issue, besides who uses Novell anymore anyway?)

There is a middle college available but you cannot take classes there and the Tech school at the same time. (School superintendents' policy)

My son told me yesterday, "They (school admins) make it difficult for someone who wants to excell on their own".

I wish I could have homeschooled.

The situation couldn't possibly have been synopsized any better than that.

...describes the state of public education to a 'T'.
