Sadly, I know of many who are not doing just fine.   And yes, it has become clear that when people oppose Common Core, a large number of opponents really just oppose public funding of education, in general.

"Government schools", instead of "public schools", is the new rhetoric for this. (Glenn Beck uses it.)

Which always makes me wonder whether people talk about driving on government roads, drinking government water, flushing into government sewers, and heeding government tornado warnings. But anyway.[/quote]

Public schools ARE government schools. There is no rhetoric involved. If government pays for schooling using our tax dollars, they are government schools. It's supposed to be handled on a local level, because that's where tax dollars for such are collected. Then the Feds got involved and, no surprised, things have not improved.

How many of the above government entities are handled efficiently at a LOCAL level? I pay FAIRFAX COUNTY water bills, which is a local level. Ditto sewer. There are other services besides national weather service, are there not? Or is NATIONAL weather the only thing that counts in your mind? How's FEMA doing with that tornado aid to the south, btw? Beck has had boots on the ground and supplies coming in within hours of the damage. He seems more efficient than the government.

Now let's look at those Government roads. Read your Constitution lately? Because that's the ONLY thing you mentioned that actually IN the Constitution and thus SHOULD be funded by Federal dollars.[/quote]
