A revolution in education is long overdue. I used to think homeschooling was sort of crazy. We knew a family when my oldest was in Boy Scouts twenty years ago that were homeschooling and I'll admit I was sort of fascinated by it. If I had little kids today I would definitely home school. Aside from the indoctrinating which is even worse now than it was, I feel like I lost a lot of time with my kids. They really suck you into the whole "he has to go to spring break baseball camp or be benched!" thing. Kids and parents feel so pressured by this stuff. At the end of the day 18 years go by and you didn't really take the driving trips you meant to take, etc.
It's even worse now as far as I can tell. Kids are either illiterate or so overbooked and driven to overachieve that they are seeing a shrink for anxiety in seventh grade. Like everything else there is no middle.
One of my biggest regrets is how I didn't push enough in high school when I realized that there wasn't any curriculum on the Constitution. It was only mentioned in passing -it should be front and center and at a far earlier age than teenagers.
And of course, scarcely a mention of the Bolshevik revolution.

Absolutely. Well said.
