My kids benefitted more by learning history at ancient sites & at museums than from in-school powerpoints. Opportunity matters.

My kids r well adjusted, contributing adults. Pulled them from school 4 many real-life educational experiences. School's concern is funding.

Yes the school gets paid for seats filled. That's why they get bent out of shape if your child is not there.

Actually can't believe this isn't mentioned in the article. Our principal told us all as much.

It doesn't fit their narrative. It might call into question the motive of public school administrators.

Hahaha! Daddy! Yes. I am guilty, AND my kids are awesome

Pretty sure my kids gave me fake twitter accounts.

Schools are just hired babysitters now. Everything is packets & group learning. No teaching going on in classrooms.

I know it seems that way in a lot of places, but there are serious teachers doing all they can to help educate the next gen. Props to them!

I agree there are some very good teachers h/w 100 percent group/self learning is not the http://answer.School yr needs to be restructured
