His first mistake was sending his kid to public school, then continuing to send his kid there. Public school is like sending your kids to swim in a sewage filled lake. Why would you continue to do that?? Are "things" so important that you will sacrifice your kid for them? Two parents don't HAVE to work. You come into this world alone, you leave alone. All your "stuff" is left behind. However, your legacy, your kid, is still there, carrying on what you did in your life. Unless you whore them out to the public education. Then, you are dead. The public school indoctrinated kid, not your kid, lives on.
