Yes, I’m a product of public schools. But when my wife and I discussed educating our daughter, we were determined not to inflict that pain on her. At that time, our biggest concerns were the quality of her education, and not having her social skills decided by a group of out-of-control children. And boy, are we glad we made that decision.
While the reports of malfeasance in public schools predate COVID, when parents got a good look at what their children we being taught, it raised many concerns. As parents became more and more informed, those concerns turned to complaints. And in some cases, those complaints quickly led to retaliation by the school board and teacher’s unions.
It seems the more government, especially the federal government, gets involved, the worse education gets. America spends more per child, yet has poorer outcomes than the rest of the western countries. Perhaps a better name for our federal school overlords would be the Department of Mis-Education.
