[quote=Anonymous]It seems to me that this Republican group is getting just what it wants....and with very little effort or money being spent....  thousands & thousands of families will leave public schools this year, and some will never return.   The families who leave will not just be frustrated Christian families, but frustrated liberal families who also value the ‘old way” of education such as grammar, spelling, social studies, desk rows, teacher independence.

I don’t see schools abandoning their new way of doing things. In fact, I think it will spread further.  I can SEE why families are unhappy and want to leave.  But, I’m not a fool.  Most Americans don’t have much of an education themselves. Not everyone is equipped to teach their children or to develop a curriculum. Many homeschoolers are unwilling to expose their children to new ideas.  They like to control the content their kids see.  At the end of the day, this will lead to the de-education of American children.

I think we need to invest in public schools, and fight to make them rigorous. (Instead of marking them “easier” like we’ve been doing)[/quote]
