Yep Galen...but there are still a few of us who DARE to try and make a difference in the public school system.
I totally admire your ability and resources to homeschool....wish I could do the same.
However...so many families do not have that option....which is why public school teachers like me and krys and many others try to make a difference.
As a Mom of four, I can honestly say that I share your view of many many public school administrators and etc... but most parents have no clue of their parental rights. And make NO difference. I have been in the office of those administrators who would take full credit for MY fight to get my kids what they deserve.
I have also been in the office of administrators who worked magic when the parents WOULD NOT participate in their child's education.
This isn't a two sided coin....it is many faceted. As a public school teacher who cares...I ask you, Galen, to not blame the entire system for the acts of those who do not care.
But Galen...please understand...I am so proud of your ability to homeschool and the stand you take for your kids.
I have kids too...I stand and fight for them and am often extremely unpopular with the teachers and administration where my kids are.(BOY could I tell you stories!!!)
See...I KNOW my rights...I enforce them as a parent.
I also am a teacher and enforce my rights there to teach my students. My rebel stance has cost me two jobs so far.
“I totally admire your ability and resources to homeschool....wish I could do the same.”
Thank you, maam.

It is my humble opinion that ‘most’ parents don’t care. Apathy is rampant and growing in our nation.

I did not mean to be blaming them ALL. I apologize if it sounded like I was.

Bonnie wrote in the textbooks of our 6th grade girl (Sam). During the first few weeks, Sam was very embarrassed, but later each time they began a new topic in social studies, the teacher would ask Sam, what her mother had written about this topic.
Sam’s ‘science’ class divides itself into the following topics: soil pollution, air pollution, water pollution, ‘something else I don’t remember’ and can Giaia heal herself?
I asked her ‘science’ teacher about these topics, and she told me that in keeping modern these are the primary divisions of science now days.

That's the whole curriculum for the year? What a great way to scare the life out of 6th graders...but at least they named the goddess they worship!
