Yes you are. Anyone who does not agree with everything Europe does, or desires the slightest bit of freedom (but only to do things lefties don't like), or does not want the government determining the educational path of their children, is by definition a tea bagging bible thumping redneck idiot.
You must have missed the memo.
There may be hope for you yet Sam.
OK, I'll let you stay up a little longer, past your bedtime.
1, better education, anything I cannot teach my daughter I hire people that can.
2, it gives me more time to spend with my daughter.
3. when she was in public school, she was out preforming her fellow students and was being held back.
4th. the 2 teachers that my daughter did like both suggested that she either go to a private school or be homeschooled to get a better education.
both teachers are democrats, and the nearest private junior high school is a bit over 30 miles away.
I am a borderline liberal (center left really). My kid goes to public school, with a healthy dose of tutoring/additional work from me and Mrs. FH. Dad was a 5th grade teacher, and I always thought he was the coolest. I am down with p.s. teachers...to the end of the line.
I too wonder about the hypocrisy of this. I see it a lot in the western US. Died in the wool liberals who put their kids in private school. I think it is an upbringing thing. A lot of the people out here have come from the Northeast, where they attended private school, so they assume their kids need the same thing. I really have no problem with it, it is a personal choice, but rather annoying when rich people move in, so that families cannot live here, and schools start closing. Then the only families who can afford to live here put their kids in the private school...sheesh.
But what I find most outrageous of all is when parents will have three kids in private school, live in a $500k home, drive a BMW, then go in and ask for food stamps. Keeeeeeriiiiiiiist! Some people are such hypocritical pigs! Not sure how many of these sleazeballs are liberals, but my liberal town is full of them. Makes my blood boil.
I kind of like the Finland model. We are in this together. But I think having private options is good, especially for special needs kids who may need special assistance for some reasons.
It's almost as ridiculously stupid as comparing the performance of Finnish and American children based solely on the separation between public and private school children.
OK, now I've changed my mind. Back to bed for you.
And I don't want you sneaking any more reading of Mein Kampf, under the covers either.

sorry Sam, I didnt get that memo. I dont follow the liberal or republican mantra of always following what the goverment says.
