You also discredit yourself with the state indoctrination crap... -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Barnes [mailto:critic...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2010 9:08 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Tea Party thinks Businesses should be allowed to deny service to blacks.
If children are home schooled, they miss the state ran indoctrination system. They might not get to watch "The Story of Stuff". What a tragedy that would be. In all seriousness, how can anyone justify the mandate of no home schooling when you have facts like these: For years, educators have tried - often in vain - to get more students to graduate from high school on time and boost college-going rates. But few approaches have had much success: Dropout rates in many cities approach 50%, and a few cities - including Baltimore, Dallas, Detroit, Houston and Philadelphia - graduate fewer than 45% of students. On a school-by-school basis, recent research suggests that about one in eight high schools in the USA - many of them in the nation's biggest cities - are virtual "dropout factories" where fewer than 60% of freshmen graduate within four years.<http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2010-05-20-1Adiplomas20_CV_N.h tm> In those cities, a child could stay home and watch PBS and get the same amount of learning and indoctrination. The United States has a very strong history of home schooling. Here's a small sampling: George Washington Thomas Jefferson John Quincy Adams James Madison William Henry Harrison John Tyler Abraham Lincoln Theordore Roosevelt Woodrow Wilson Franklin Delano Roosevelt Stonewall Jackson Robert E. Lee Douglas MacArthur George Patton Thomas Edison Orville Wright & Wilbur Wright George Washington Carver Booker T.

Enrollment is growing and funding is shrinking. It's harder to find qualified teachers since those who are qualified don't want to deal with the headaches involved with teaching. Being a former math teacher and having a wife who works in the educational field, I follow the educational issue with a lot of interest. The public education system is heading for very hard times. More and more people will be pulling their children out of this public option. By the way, the solution is simple, but not many on this list want to hear so I'll refr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:319437 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
