Reply #12: My daughter went to public school.... [View All]

and received a better education than she could ever have gotten in a private school ( I know, I checked both). But if I had to put her in a charter school-I would have home schooled her. All those around here are rip offs with no over sight. They don't have the same standards that public schools have to meet and are not impressive.

It is all drill and kill cookie cutter education now. They seem to have forgotten how to teach kids how to think and reason. Kids do poorly on test now because they are bored. All the teachers teach to the test for fear of losing their jobs and per political pressure. With all this 'improvement', things are worse.

I have come to the belief that our corporate overlords don't want an educated population-just a mindless consuming one, 1984 is finally here.
