YOu make think it is fashionable to send my kids to private schools, but I think it is a necessity, just as my parents felt it was. The public school system is in a shambles. Only the rich areas have good public schools. There is no accountability in public schools. Kids are more likely to get in trouble, scores are lower, university acceptance is lower, access to drugs are higher, it takes an act of God to get an incompetent teacher fired, and the list goes on.
So forgive me if I don't want my money going to a system with no accountability. In private schools, if the teachers are no good, they get fired. That's called accountability. Our kids have the option of going to religion classes to learn about all the religions of the world...you don't get that in public schools thanks to your athiest friends. My kids have access to computers and high speed Internet. I wish all parents had the choice to send their kids to private schools. With what they pay in taxes to fund public school education, they could almost afford some private schools. But unfortunately, people like you are standing in their way, because you want to decide what to do with their money.
As far as fashion and fad goes, what HAS become fashionable among the liberal left is to demean Americans and their values and to stand up for personal choice when it comes to killing babies or same sex marriage. Unfortunately for the liberal left, we live in a country that is largely Christian. Unfortunately for the liberal left Christian values don't move with the latest shift of the wind, which is why our decisions don't to align with the latest Hollywood fad. |
