Private schools are a thing. Homeschooling is a thing.

The only thing that is forced is that kids get educated somehow, by someone, and thank God for that. Do you really want to live in a land of illiterates who can't add two and two?

You right wingers are a miserable lot. If I’d posted a thread about Lebron being locked in jail, you and your conservative confederates would be posting smiley emojis and talking about how wonderful the news is.
Nothing to do with conservatives. Not that you care about the truth.

Plus I doubt you'd post anything negative about your black celebrities. You have a history of it. You never criticized the war monger Obama even though you want us out of the Middle East.

How many can afford private schools?
Read up on the hoops home schoolers have to go through. Educate yourself on an issue. As long as you think something is a good idea you have no problem forcing others. You learn that in public schools.

You're a product of public schools, right?

Wonder what Ingraham has to say about THAT!!

Inside LeBron James?s New $8 Million Public School, Where Students Get Free Bikes, Meals, and College Tuition

Why can't Lebaron Jimmy just take his ball and dribble offa the court? Hasn't he made enough money? He is doing nothing but keeping other black folks from having a chance to earn that basketball money. The fool is SELFISH. Just like the Slave Masters that came before him the only thing he's worried about is himself. He ain't worried about his impoverished brothers.

And this school? It's nothing but a tax deduction for him.

Nonsense. My father sent some of us to private school, and I even attended 2 years of private school for junior high and all of my siblings, me included, attended Montessori School to start our educations. My brother and I are the only ones that didn’t attend Catholic High School.

There’s always a choice

It's not about you. Plus you should sue those schools for not coming through on their end of the bargain.

Explain to me how easy it is to home school. As it pertains to local government intervention making it harder to home school.

I did attend public school K-12, then went to a small private college on a scholarship. However, I have known lots of people who chose to homeschool their kids, and none of them complained about any terrible regulatory burden. You may find the information in the following website surprising, particularly regarding the number of states that don't require parents to notify anyone of their decision to homeschool, let alone set up "hoops" for them to jump through.

https://www.responsiblehomeschooling...urrent-policy/

The Wikipedia article is also a good general overview.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homesc..._United_States

I have no idea if it is easier to homeschool than it once was, but it's certainly more widespread, and the trend continues to grow.

As for private schools there are 10 in my hometown, and there used to be more, so apparently it's within the reach of enough people to keep it a viable option.

I think education is a good idea, whether it's obtained at a public school, a private one, or in the home. Do you disagree?

In what way did they not come through? His posts are a good deal more articulate than those of many others I could list.

Where did you go to school, while we're on the topic?
