How much responsibility do parents have for their children’s achievement in school? What an extraordinary question. Of course, the real question, one for years run under the wheels of comfortable assumption, is what the hell right does government have being in the education business? Actually, what right does it have destroying the education sector and completely changing the complexion of American society forever?
The dysfunctional single-family home illustrated in this piece is as much the result of nanny statism as it is the cause of poor academic performance.
Government schooling is the root cause of a great amount of the dysfunction seen in American society. Can we finally answer the question, what right does it have there? What right does government have more or less instilling childhood values and philosophies when and where the separation clause is to hallowed?
I’ll lead off: It’s not even remotely because everybody “deserves” an education. Government schools cost twice what the private sector offers and that’s including the private sector never having the opportunity to compete head to head in the mass market. And it’s clearly not because such an “education” is in any way a quality product.
Government schools destroy values, performance, normal social development, and with them, lives. So other than myth, why is this allowed when our form of government had no such authority whatsoever at it’s inception?
