Sending your kids to the state-school – is this going to become a thing of the past?

In the news this week, they’re been saying that in one particular area in the UK there’s been an 800pct increase in parents that have taken their children out of the state-school system and are now teaching them at home, followed by less but similar increases around the country.

Now that comprehensive self-teaching tools are readily available to parents via this phenomena known as the Internet, are these statistics of any real surprise, when parents are forced to consider:-

1. The fear of ever-increasing bullying/violence to children and especially “gifted children” in our state schools.

2. Teachers that have been stripped of any real power to effectively discipline the children within their classes, because of the almost obsessional and anally-rentative edicts from the do-gooder police.

Interesting question. There are only so many children who can be home schooled, for the simple reason that the majority of moms hold down jobs, and it’s all but impossible to be a stay at home mom and do home schooling, and hold down a job. So that is one self limiting factor.

More importantly, what truly needs to be done is to clean up the school system. Would you send your child to a school where s/he was in danger from bullies — either mental or physical abuse? If the state school system collapses, it also threatens the college and university system – who qualifies for university admission if everyone is doing their own thing?

It will also make life difficult when it comes to hiring – what are the credentials presented by a home schooled student worth? At the very least, home schooled kids would have to write a comprehensive series of tests at the completion of their schooling.
