Quote of the Day: “The left is not necessarily aiming at totalitarianism. But their know-it-all mindset leads repeatedly and pervasively in that direction, even if by small steps, each of which might be called ‘micro-totalitarianism.” Thomas Sowell
Great article by Laura Booth as she interviews a number of parents who are now in essence, home schooling their children. She tells us that just under 4,000 students are enrolled in the online only school called St. Isidore. So, that’s 4,000 students that won’t be showing up in a physical class room. Good. Now, as I have always suggested, this is the perfect time to get the wasteful, pathetic government out of teaching our kids and into the private sector where there is actual accountability. Give each parent $10,000 to educate each of their children and collapse the teachers’ unions forever. This experiment proves that we don’t need schools and the huge overhead of the current structure.
