>The State's Education Monopoly Increases Prices and Destroys Choice - Ron Paul  - Charleston Voice - 
I don't think you have ever worked in education Spokes.

Your statement "there is no better schooling than home schooling" misses the point. The reason why there is no respect is firstly the media 'education' of kids and secondly PARENTS who delegate the teaching of manners, control and common courtesy to the education system. Teachers do their best but in the absence of proper control hierarchies their hands are for th e most part tied.

For the same reason as above home schooling would not work. Whilst dedicated parents (where do you find these?) have half a chance most would not put themselves out for such a chore. And then do you really expect parents to teach technical subjects like math and science when they themselves have not and never have had any ability or understanding of these curriculum areas.

Your argument on curriculum is also flawed. We live in an era where many parents keep demanding that curriculum is watered down so that their children do better in these areas. The fact that the harder subjects are required for certain careers does not seem to register with many parents who later blame the system for the fact that their children have not cut it and are locked out of some (lucrative) careers.

So don't shoot the messenger mate. Most thrid world countries would give their right arm for the opportunities we all have. The sad reality is that society is pushing a lowest common denominator agenda whilst wanting their little darlings to behave as they wish. That my dear friend is the reality.
