If you support a school system that won’t teach children to read, do math, learn the simplest events in history, or understand the most ordinary facts about the world we live in, you’re guilty of child abuse.
Maybe not sexual child abuse but certainly academic child abuse, education child abuse, cultural and intellectual child abuse, cognitive and psychological child abuse. You're guilty.
Look at the evidence. It's the size of Texas. To flee from your guilt, you might try to deny the undeniable, and believe the unbelievable, for example, that the Education Establishment cares about improving education. That's funny because they don’t care even a little. For them, education is the enemy. Evidently, they want dumbing-down and mediocrity. They have figured out that educated people are harder to control. Why take a chance? Surely, for them, less is more.
Is that difficult to accept? But certainly no more difficult than news such as this: in 13 high schools in West Baltimore in 2019, not a single graduating senior could pass the basic proficiency test in either math or English. That's crazy. QED: public school education is collapsing faster than a snowman on Malibu Beach. Some 7,000 Baltimore students will not be able to advance in our economy. They will stay reliant on welfare and will have low self-esteem. That's bad for the country.
The teachers' unions and professors of education are guilty of undermining our public schools. And thereby undermining the country. Don't help these irresponsible people.
If you side with corrupt unions and Marxist professors, you're guilty of bad faith, of aiding and abetting. You deserve more blame than you've gotten......

I wonder what percentage of public school teachers in Baltimore send their children to private schools and/or live outside areas with poor schools?
“If you support a school system that won’t teach children to read, do math, learn the simplest events in history, or understand the most ordinary facts about the world we live in, you’re guilty of child abuse.”
Sorry, don’t agree. As long as the schools that my kids go to are free and have a large football stadium, then I’ve done my job of making sure they go to good schools. The other stuff, even grooming, that’s not my problem, that’s the kids’ problem.
The military abuses teenagers all the time.
Ever tell them “No”?
That is now considered child abuse.

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Strong words, but they need to be said. The education system in this country is likely beyond redemption. Any parent can do better at this point, so the argument that parents are not *trained professionals* and are not qualified to *teach* their own kids is now invalid because clearly the so-called *highly trained professionals* aren't capable of teaching the either. If they were, kids would not be being graduated from school who were functionally, illiterate.
Re: Maybe not sexual child abuse
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
In today’s transgendered school environment and daily reports of student-student and teacher-student sexual abuse, a child is indeed in serious danger.
Why would any parent send a child into this environment?
A buddy of mine teaches elementary school in Baltimore. They homeschool.
He’s stuck in the system. He’s mid to late career and no matter how good he is, no one will hire a Baltimore teacher because the system is so broken.
Define “abuse”. So many liberals think anything other than high praise is abusive to children. Their kid could crap on the living room rug and they would say, “Gee, I hope you can make he bathroom next time.”
