If you’ve ever had to deal with a government school employee, be it a principal, teacher, or even a simple secretary, you surely know by now that they are typically arrogant, presumptuous, bastions of mundane complacency that act as though they are perpetually doing you a favor by giving you the time of day when forced to speak with them. Occasionally, there is a sincere teacher who is quite good, but the systems they work within handcuff them to an institution that relishes poor performance the way middle management executives relish the Golf Channel. Public school employees are generally horrendous at customer service, because they work for institutions that do not have to compete with anyone else for your business. They know that if a parent owns a home in their school district, then the parent has no choice but to send their child to that particular school or suffer prosecution by law. Public school employees really don’t care if they make their customers happy, or satisfied. They are able to put on a good show for the parent teacher conferences, or other meet and greet events so long as the parent doesn’t attempt to get too involved in their kid’s life at school, but this quickly erodes once the business of teaching migrates beyond formality. Then the real teeth of the wolves show as the not so subtle ownership of the children’s lives becomes clear. Public education employees believe that they are co-parents with the real parents, and they treat those real parents as an incompetent spouse that has eyes on an affair finding fault with everything the real parents do. The education professional believes their teaching methods are superior to that of parents, and they are not shy to make it known. That is why it brings my heart great delight to see that some parents are fighting back. Since they have no choice but to send their child to the public school of their home real estate, and typically cannot afford private instruction for their child, more and more parents are home-schooling their children at a rate that is justifiably alarming.
A little known fact since home schooled children represent only 4% of all school aged children is that home schooling enrollment has increased by 75% since 1999. Homeschooling has become increasingly popular as common myths that have long been associated with the practice have been debunked. Any concerns parents had about the quality of education children receive at home can be put to rest by the consistently high placement of homeschooled students on standardized assessment exams. Data demonstrates that those who are independently educated generally score between the 65th and 89th percentile on these measures, while those in traditional academic settings average at around the 50th percentile. In addition, achievement gaps between sexes, income levels, or ethnicity—all of which have plagued public schools around the country—do not exist in homeschooling environments. If you want to meet a smart child no matter what their background, you will almost 100% of the time notice that a parent is active in their life, and the best students come from homes where the parent does all the instruction, and does not send their child to a concentration camp called public school out of convenience in needing a tax payer funded baby sitter.
Recent studies laud homeschoolers’ academic success, noting their significantly higher ACT-Composite scores as high school aged students and higher grade point averages as college students. Yet surprisingly, the average expenditure for the education of a homeschooled child, per year, is $500 to $600, compared to an average expenditure of $10,000 per child, per year, for public school students. This is because the parent is invested in their child in a way that is biologically compatible. The public school attempts to defy the way human beings naturally learn with an artificial instruction that is rooted in radical labor unions that are too expensive not just monetarily, but mentally. In real dollars it costs ten times more to teach a child in a public school getting mediocre results at best, than the same child taught at home getting superior results.
The high achievement level of homeschoolers is readily recognized by recruiters from some of the best colleges in the nation. Home-educated children matriculate in colleges and attain a four-year degree at much higher rates than their counterparts from both public and private schools. Schools such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard, Stanford, and Duke Universities all actively recruit homeschoolers. They do this so they can bring their averages up in academic accountability and artificially show superior education results compensating for all the lack-luster students they are supplied with coming from public schools.
Similarly, the common myth that homeschoolers “miss out” on so-called “socialization opportunities,” often thought to be vital aspects of traditional academic settings, has proven to be false. According to the National Home Education Research Institute survey, homeschoolers tend to be more socially engaged than their peers and demonstrate “healthy social, psychological, and emotional development, and success into adulthood.” A home schooled child is more likely to be the leader of their “pack” than just a blind participant as their egos have not been crushed into mashed potatoes in public school for social assimilation into a collective.
Based on recent data, researchers such as Dr. Brian Ray (NHERI.org) “expect to observe a notable surge in the number of children being homeschooled in the next 5 to 10 years. The rise would be in terms of both absolute numbers and percentage of the K to 12 student population. This increase would be in part because…[1] a large number of those individuals who were being home educated in the 1990’s may begin to homeschool their own school-age children and [2] the continued successes of home-educated students.”
I have said it more than once, if a parent sends their child to public school, they must not care much for the child. Public schools are government schools, and they are not healthy places to raise children. Parents should never completely surrender their children to a public school and the employees who work in them, as the customer service is terrible, and the social implication is quite destructive. Based on the results, all parents should make it their number one objective in raising their children to instruct those children at home under their care, and to forego the public education entirely.
When parents look at their 16-year-old child and wonder what happened to the sweet little youngster they gave birth to, most of the fault can be placed at the feet of the public school which has sought to reshape children’s minds into some Frankenstein social experiment designed to make good citizens as unlike their parents as possible as viewed by the government. The rest of the fault rests on the parent who was too lazy, self-centered, or too stupid to instruct their own children, denying them an opportunity to be the best human beings they could possibly be. Years ago when I was deep in fighting Lakota schools which is in my local district I was told by the arrogant teachers and PTA Kool-Aid drinkers that if I thought teaching was so easy then I’d come and teach their classes. Well, on national radio, in the newspapers, and on television, even to members of the school faculty, I said I’d be happy to teach not just one class, but four at the same time. When I gave an interview to the Lakota East Spark Magazine, I told the young lady who interviewed me that I would be happy to teach all their classes at the school if anyone wanted to take me up on it. Ironically, that article never made it to print.
There are times when I truly do wish that I could home school everyone’s children, and teach them real knowledge, not the crap they get in public school. The public school employees and their followers thought they stumped me when they challenged me to teach their classes. They thought I would decline out of fear that I couldn’t match their “massive” intellects. Please…………….they think this way because they have no competition and do not know, or care to know that most people functioning in the world successfully know a whole lot more than they do. And thankfully for 4% of all school aged children, they have parents who understand that they are better qualified to instruct their own children than some arrogant government employee who is trying to use children to cash in on a cushy job. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you love your children, you’ll take them out of public schools, and teach them yourself. If you want to raise a social malcontent, a diabolical menace to society, a pot smoking, future alcoholic, a liar, a cheater, and unstable social bully, then send them to be instructed in public schools where those are the skills of the instructors. If you want a smart young adult who is kind, thoughtful and reliable to their future spouse and the children that come from that union……………..then teach them yourself!

From a United States Supreme Court Decision: “Parents have three choices how to educate their children. Teach them at home, put them in a private school, or ABANDON THEM TO THE STATE”.
Legally speaking, putting your children in the public school is abandonment. This has serious consequences.
It is a day orphanage for “children of the state”.
Accepting the benefit privilege of abandoning your children to the State gives the State a security interest in the children. In other words with every passing day you leave them for the State to take care of them in public school the children become further indebted to the State to repay the cost of their education and every tax the United States puts on their children in the future. Quite literally each day the State educates them a lien against your kid is increased. You can track how much they have borrowed against each kid on Fidelity investments by Berth Certificate number. This is a Bad deal. Very Dangerous to sell a piece of your child for each day in lousy day orphanage.

That’s correct. I just quoted a supreme court decision. The berth certificate is a certificate of title placing the infant’s life labor into a trust. If you do not re-register the trust neme every five years it becomes abandoned.
If you do not enter a will for the child’s trust by age seven it gets probated and the State has the infant declared legally dead and an Estate is formed. Then the State administers the Estate of the infant who died intestate according to all the rules Congress creates for care of wards of the State. By placing your kid in Day Orphanage you re-I force the presumption that he/she is Statevproperty you cannot provide for.
Every court you have ever walked into except small claims is a Court of Arches today known as probate.
Even a traffic ticket is heard in probate. That’s why the judge is wearing a black robe, you are legally dead.

Albert Einstein was a failure in establishment schools, but he thrived by himself, home-schooled as an individual. http://apieceofmymind-sarv.blogspot.com/2007/03/albert-einstein-failure.html
School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn’t worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave. This was a Catholic School in Munich. I felt that my thirst for knowledge was being strangled by my teachers; grades were their only measurement. How can a teacher understand youth with such a system? . . . from the age of twelve I began to suspect authority and distrust teachers. I learned mostly at home, first from my uncle and then from a student who came to eat with us once a week. He would give me books on physics and astronomy. The more I read, the more puzzled I was by the order of the universe and the disorder of the human mind, by the scientists who didn’t agree on the how, the when, or the why of creation. Then one day this student brought me Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. Reading Kant, I began to suspect everything I was taught. I no longer believed in the known God of the Bible, but rather in the mysterious God expressed in nature. – Albert Einstein.

The public school system is designed to produce three things:
1 A homogenous conforming product under the Uniform Commercial Code in which Federal Reserve Note shares can be offered for sale worldwide.
2 Obedient non thinking products.
3 A predictable “public mind” that can be mathematically modeled to predict how the products will behave and react to “prompts”.
If people all thought differently the controllers could not elicite a predictable response to their prods.
War, fake terrorism, manufactured news, economic attacks are all prompts to prod the public school products into going in a predetermined direction.
That’s why it is called “schooling”. The Admiralty predators who created this system in the late 1800’s are schooling the fish to all move in the same direction when scared or saddened so that they right into the waiting mouths of politicians and attorneys.
Feed the Beast another “child” (product). Just put your kid in the school and he or she will be trained to go willingly into the mouths of sharks.
Certainly no free man or Creative thinker like Einstein will emerge from your kid being given over to the “schoolers”.
Only processed fish fillets for the Elites tables emerge out of the public school processing plants.
Want to sacrifice your kid to the High Priests? Just incarcerate them in the public school.

You may be right, but it actually began much earlier. The roots are in Prussia, and brought here after all our “Fathers of Education” flocked there to get advanced degrees. There were no such degrees here at the time. They brought the statist mindset back and started their “Public” schools to get a handle on new immigrants, especially Catholics. Kids were taken by force out of their homes, and it took years for public schooling to take hold in parts of the country. It has just gotten more perverse over time. Education is more socialization and creating predictable responses as you stated. Kids are not taught to think for themselves, as even many of the standardized tests are multiple choice. While I think there are great teachers in many of the schools, their talents are watered down, if not wasted entirely, due to the bureaucratic nightmare created in 3 different levels of gov’t oversight. One room school houses are being recreated by parents through neighborhood co-ops of learning. Bringing community together by choice instead of force is the answer. No forced payment or attendance, but the ability to think and study one’s interests and at their own pace. People that scoff at this notion have not seen the behavior, polite manners, drive to learn, or levels of achievement of homeschool kids. Their loss and they will reap what they sow.
