Even those children attending government schools receive education in the home. From interacting with their parents children learn what things may hurt them, how to navigate through life, and many other things that are more important than what the schools teach. Throw in a few computer programs to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. Add some books and a little educational television and you have a base to deliver an education at home. A child naturally wants to learn but when the pace is set by 15 other students and the topic is chosen by others the inclination to learn is reduced for the student.
Every employee has a degree of loyalty for their employer.
Teachers are employed by government. They should be employed by their student s parents. Administrators, curriculum creators, and colleges that graduate the teachers, are all dependent upon government s ability to extract money from the taxpayers. Therefore there is a ubiquitous affirmation of obedience to government in the schools. This is not the indoctrination I want for my child.
