The subtitle is “Why you should pull your child from public school before it’s too late.”

Despite the book, I doubt that many parents will take its advice. Probably the reason is that in general most people, including Catholics and other Christians, have already bought into what the education establishment is selling, and so are not alarmed.

Here is an excerpt from the review:

“If all of these issues seem to lead the reader to a crescendo of discouragement about ever possibly “fixing” this broken system, that is exactly the hard, cold, and practical reality the authors want you to face. It is simply not worth putting your own children at risk, for example, by saying that, as a parent, you’ll be part of the system in hopes of bringing change from within. The problem is that the system does not want you to change it and has decades of safeguards and self-protections built-in to keep parents from ever effecting positive change. Sometimes a thing is too broken to fix. There is no reasonable hope for addressing all of these issues in the face of a juggernaut that keeps the momentum of this downward spiral going.”

My goodness, has it been a month already since the last threads about how we public school teachers are agents of evil?!

Sheesh. I’m not even gonna bite on this one.

I think it’s not a good idea to paint all public schools with the same broad brush. They’re not all bad. Many of the crises that arise in the public schools are not familiar to my experience with my kids’public schools. It just ain’t all that bad.
