EVERY parent should read John Taylor Gatto. You'll never look at education the same afterwards.

You aren’t compelled to loan your car to anyone who wants it, but you are compelled to surrender your school-age child to strangers who process children for a livelihood, even though one in every nine schoolchildren is terrified of physical harm happening to them in school, terrified with good cause; about thirty-three are murdered there every year. From 1992 through 1999, 262 children were murdered in school in the United States. Your great-great-grandmother didn’t have to surrender her children. What happened?

I got an early morning thought as I rolled out of bed. Dont know why but it came to me, When I was a kid and did something bad in school I was punished twice - once by teacher and then by parents. When my kids were in school the teacher used lines like.....you chose to..... how did you feel about it...... do you feel what you did was right.....

Now we have a whole generation that 'feel', 'are offended', instead of logically dealing with issues. Its like kids that never grew up.
