#2 No wonder that parents are increasingly waking up to the problems of government-controlled schools. They started to fear schools that were indoctrinating their kids to PC, cockamamie theories, social engineering, screwed-up accounts of history and a lack of freedom of religion. Moreover, violence has increased in schools. At one time socialization was considered important in schools but now the importance of that notion is being questioned by parents.

I recommend hanging with a more mature crowd. Six and seven year olds can be like that at times.

#5 #3 your statistical sampling and methodology are both too limited.

#6 #5, to which I'd add, it reads like assertion being promoted as anecdote. And as we know anecdotes are not evidence...

#7 #3 is the standard criticism leveled at home schoolers by public school promoters. " I want them to socialized!" Socialized to what?

#9 we know anecdotes are not evidence... True, it is also interesting how they can be used to suck the air out of a discussion, by seeming to invalidate everything that has been said prior to that time.

#10 Young children are subjected to news media that is liberal bias as you can imagine. Question answer sessions afterward about orange hair. Raise your hands if you disagree with orange hair. Pier pressure and basically bulling to conform to the group thought. Public school of course if you can call it that.

#11 The main point of extortion funded creches for children is to push the woman into work.

" I want them to socialized!" Socialized to what?

Screwing their teachers, of course.
