Look for the government to try and put a stop to homeschooling. The justice department ( Eric Holder) already came out recently and said you have no constitutional right to homeschool.

I'm kind of shocked this wasn't killed earlier. I mean seriously who wants kids not to be indoctrinated, and how dare they deprive a public employee union of their money.

I'm so glad my new teaching gig is 25 hours a week. I'm union exempt. Sweet!

I went K-12 in a public school, 4 years in a state university and now teach at a state junior college. The last time I looked the Feds' don't run any schools - they are all state run.

I was reading through my copy of the constitution of the United states and come across this, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Going back through the constituion if found this concerning education, schools, home schooling, public schools, etc., "_________________________". Nothin', nada, zip, zero. It appears to me that the federal government has no power to control education. Public education is the perview of the individual states and the people. Public education is taken care of where I live by the State of Texas.

That said, I have a question for the board. How many of you are products of public education? How many have actually been in a public school class room in the last ten years?

The Dept of Education us $70 billion and 6000 plus people. Most of the money is distributed to the states with federal strings attached that enforce what liberals believe are constitutional rules. They don't, however, run schools or educate anyone. A right only of the states or local Goverments if granted them by the people and I think every state has granted their state govt that right.

If it were me I'd delete the Dept of education and hire three people.

1) would calculate the number of students in America and dived that by the $70 billion
2) would distribute it to the schools or home schooled parents equally
3) in true govt form would supervise and police those two.
