Home schooling is the only way, unless you want your children indoctrinated, blind, and dumbed down. Schools don't allow any individualism, only conformity.

I applaud your enthusiasm. You definitly stand up for your beliefs. But man you got to leave the you and your out of those generalized posts. makes it sound that if I put my children into a school then my kids will indoctrined, blind, dumbed down and wont show any individualism.
 
Schools are not the problem. They are the product of the problem. Government suppresses individualism, so they took over public education to create blind followers. There was a time when local communities had ownership of schools and created brilliant members of society that could question, defy and think for themselves, thus improving our country. This is sadly a fading memory that can only be rectified by removing the useless Department of "Non"Education.

I am a public school teacher, and I teach my students the truth. This causes me conflict at times with my superiors and colleagues, but I am truly trying to make our students better. I don't want a nation of test takers. I want a nation of free thinkers that look for the truth. It is very frustrating and complicated trying to educate students, parents, educators and the general public on what is really going on. I am truly sick of it all.

Home schooling would be ideal for all, but sadly our society and economy will not allow the majority this gift. We are in a debt system that makes many slaves to it. Most parents and other family members have to work full time. Their enslavement to debt keeps them from home schooling.
 
The point we can't forget is that the most important educators in our children's lives are us, the parents.
We have home schooled our kids straight through, not that I criticize any who do public. I went to public school and was not in any way indoctrinated because my parents and respected friends taught me the right values and the truth. I knew enough to keep bad associates at a distance. And when it came to lies such as evolution being taught as fact, I didn't fall for it.

Very good point Dan. Parents are the most important educator in a child's life. Unfortunately, I see more and more parents each year that don't give a sh**. It leaves the teachers not only teaching, but raising a good number of students also.

The debt system is like any other escape from reality that you are tempted with. You can choose not to participate. There is a good chance that you will become an addict when you first shoot up, but it is a choice that you get to make.
 
I am thankful we can homeschool. We took her out in first grade when they started sending her home with checklists on how we are killing the planet by not recycling and art projects with Obama looking like Jesus.

She is in fifth grade now.

You would be amazed how much can be accomplished in 4hrs of personalized study vs 8 hrs of the lowest common denominator

I totally agree Tony. It has become a hidden propaganda machine. I was against our school extending instructional time, but was frowned upon and made to look like I did not care about our students. It is overloading a lot of our students to the point common sense has been erased. Maybe that is part of the master plan.

Doesn't matter if it's you or anyone else. If your children are in public school, the chances are they will become indoctrinated, blind, and dumbed down. That's the way the system is designed, and despite the best efforts of people like Jason, the results have already shown this to be factual. Sure, some kids slip through the cracks, and it might just be your kids that slip through. You might just get lucky, but don't count on it. If you put your children into a system designed to create conformity, you will get conformists.

You call it a generalization, I call it an accurate depiction of what's already happened. The results are clear. Schools churn out mindless drones full of blind patriotism, just like they were designed to do. If it offends you that YOUR kids may turn out as drones, do something about it. I find when people are offended by something, it's because it's because it touches too close to home, otherwise they have no reason to be offended. Of course, some just choose to play the victim card to stifle discussion too.
