Mo4 Well, some of your ideas have merit. Though after you said (Number 1) eliminate government schools, in Number 2 you advocated government schools (town, city, county level). I HOPE you meant eliminate the FEDERAL government from the process. And indeed eliminate the STATE governments from the process. Fine with me, but compulsory attendance laws still should be abolished. Why have it even at the local level? People should just go purchase a private school slot for their youngsters or home school them. If the pigs on the left had to pay for the schools themselves maybe they would breed like cockroaches (when they are not murdering their offspring in the womb, of course).
It says something about today’s public education reality that the two sides in the teachers’ union dispute in Chicago are the union and the mayor.

Allegedly the point of schools is to educate children. But which side in this dispute has sole interest in children and their parents?

The answer, of course, is neither side.

Unions are about the economic interests of the teachers. The mayor is about his budget and the economic interests of the city.

No one solely represents the interests of the kids.

It’s not to say that...
