Private schools are not better. Most private school are just religious school. Religion is not really good for any child. It turns them into old racists and turns their minds off to knowledge.

I completely agree with both Old School and Mich.

If you can afford private school, then by all means, do it! Public schools are relatively useless, and a much higher percentage of private school kids go to college. They'll make social connections at a young age that help them throughout their lives, so there are a million advantages and few disadvantages.

But Mich is right, the government can't require anyone to learn about a specific religion. If you choose a religious private school then that's fine, but the government doesn't have that right.

Put God back in Americans homes and schools.

JJ it sounds to me like you are describing what we have now. Hangy, I know it will come as a shock to you but Wilkes County Schools are not the only schools in the country I agree, if there are good teachers in our schools they would be glad to get out of the failed system they work in now and go to a private school where they can use their talents. We need vouchers

I dont think you get the point the OP is making. Its about breaking the system. We have been watching the actions of the radicals. We've been learning.

So what you are saying is that Wilkes County teachers are not teaching? These teachers are not making lesson plans, grading assignments, and requiring tests?


Are you saying that K-5th grade is not back in school and that Middle and High school students don't have an option to be remote or hybrid.

Maybe if some inbred ignoramuses would take this crap serious, your precious kids could get a better education than you obviously did.

Sure thing, open up and fund separate private schools run by Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Taoists, Jews, Confucianists, Bah�'�s, Shintos, Jainists, and Zoroastrianists.

Make sure they are all tolerant of one another and that they share ideas and knowledge.
Let your children choose which school they wish to attend.

In every way possible refuse to play their game. Understand the fuel their engine runs on and take it away.

I have been asked by several discouraged conservatives what we can do now to make things better. Here is my humble opinion on how to make life better during this time of destruction and confusion. Democrats always say Republicans are the rich party and need to pay a fair share. I think while schools are continuing to refuse to teach the younguns it would be a good time to pull them out of the government indoctrination pits anyway. Make a noticeable vacuum when thousands leave the public system and go to private schools As these private schools grow the cost should come down. Your kids will get an education, seats will be empty in public school, teachers will become available because of losing their jobs and need a place to work. Bite the bullet and give them what they want, empty school rooms. You might even get to buy some of their used building later on and reopen them as actual schools You can play sports, learn, have a better social experience, avoid danger, and strangle the toehold. Any way you can remove money away from money hungry people discourages them Give them a taste of their own medicine. Surely if you were smart enough to have so much more money than them you can figure out how to shelter it or move to a cash economy to avoid funding them. I have solutions for the vote stealing, fake media, and wokeness crusade also, at a later date I will give them to you Until then, squeeze them till they squeal
