Report: Homeschooling growing seven times faster than public school enrollment

I sat in on classes that my grandson was taking.... They taught team-work (instead of math) they taught empathy (instead of reading) and they taught conflict resolution instead of competition. There is no such thing as an individual and self defense is not allowed. If a child is struck by another student they are both disciplined regardless of any extenuating circumstanses.

It isn't school at all the way it was when I was in school. No one is taught to think except as the collective does and no one is challenged to do their best. My grandson was a "troublemaker" for being independent and wanting to do better. What a waste of resources. He is now home schooled and doing very well.

Oh boy! more jobs!

Aw shoot, they are government jobs so taxes will have to increase to pay for it.

That's ok though, your children will be 'taken care of' by your government.........

Algebra is useful to figure out how long your trip will be, how much fuel you use, how efficient your structure is, and a lot more in my everyday life.
Algebra teaches you how to prove your work - it is not about getting the correct answer as much as showing you the steps it takes to get the solution. One might say it teaches critical thought processes.
