I hope we see real change to our educational system IMMEDIATELY. If school vouchers were widely available and parents could designate them for the school of their choice, maybe we'd have real competition for giving children a good education (without teachers unions!). I homeschooled for a time. It can be very rewarding and you can do an excellent job with inexpensive resources. It does take discipline and a commitment to make sure the children get the experiences they need. Some of the benefits: 1. Avoid the CDC vaccine "pogrom" and all its mind and health destroying potential 2. Great flexibility for family 3. Great resources and opportunities.
In my city I am hearing of parents banding together in a church setting to offer group classes such as PE. In some cases, I think children can attend school for a few things such as band, but be homeschooled for other things. Online and computer resources for independent use are, of course, available.
I loved the homeschooling option and some of the children educated that way are in demand in colleges because they perform better than government schooled children.
