I agree- I attended Georgia public school and they were a joke. At least they don't teach the alternative lifestyle nonsense down here.
Clearly they were a joke because they're much worse off than NJ. So not only will NJ students most likely do better in school, they'll also better understand history. So, I'm assuming your reference to "alternative lifestyles" means they don't teach you history in Georgia. Or, rather, they teach you alternate histories. As in how the Civil War wasn't fought over slavery; socialism, fascism, and communism are the same political theories; the slave trade was just a casual economic "Trans-Atlantic" trade; Jesus lived with dinosaurs; etc. Because that is an alternate lifestyle. A lifestyle is a choice. It is the South's choice to be ignorant and deny science and history. That's the only "lifestyle" choice I can think of in regards to education: ignorance and misinformation passed down generation after generation in the South.
No way I'd allow my child to attend public school in New jersey.

So, even though the schools in Georgia clearly don't teach the rules of capitalization or the concept of plurals, you think that your children are better-off in those seriously deficient schools because their education will omit certain aspects of history? Perhaps you can urge the local school board to omit even more from the curriculum in order to improve the schools to an even greater extent!

I hate to have to explain the obvious, but you would have to reside in New Jersey, not in Georgia, in order for your child to attend school in New Jersey.
Even then, it is a hell of a commute for that severely English-impaired parent from Georgia, and his children.
After all is said and done, there are no New Jersey school buses for out-of-state students.

Went to Georgia about 15yrs ago for work, having an extra day there I visited Stone Mountain. A "monument" to the Civil War, while there I toured the museum. I was amazed how the plantation exhibit depicted slavery, "benevolent" is the only way I can describe the exhibit.

The now-dismissed Faux News pundit, Bill O'Reilly said the following--on air--regarding slaves: "Slaves were well-fed and had decent lodgings..."
And--no--he wasn't dismissed as a result of that comment. It took verified multiple cash settlements with alleged victims of his sexual assaults for him to be fired. Apparently Faux News had no problem with his assessment of slavery in The US.

That was much the impression given at Stone Mountain. It's also an amusement park of sorts, with rides, etc. It's been said history is written by the victors.
