All this private vs. public "debate" is getting old. No matter who says =
what and how many times they say it, nobody is going to agree. I have =
my, shall we say, disagreements as to how public education works, but =
I'll still send my kids there. They are smart enough to know what's =
right and wrong, and if they don't, we will teach them when they get =
home. =20
That's where they learn the most anyway (or where they're supposed to), =
from parents.

"Ah, but how nice it would be if:
A) If you saw children in elementary school doing this."
Could you name one elementary school that does? You apparently fail to
understand the concept of "elementary" school.
"B) You didn't have to wait until you were 45 years old and in college =
to be
taught them."
If you are implying that I personally had to wait until I was in my =
forties
to attend college to learn thses concepts, you are partly correct. For =
20
years (up to six months prior to attending college) I wore the uniform =
of
the US Army. When I attended college, it was because I wanted to, not
because my Mommy and Daddy wanted me to. By the way, where did you go =
to
college and what degree did you earn?
"C) You didn't have to have the money to go to college to learn them."
Name one college that is absolutely free and provides quality education. =
My
definition of "free" is that somebody else pays for it.
