thank you, no name, for the, uh, cunnection I was missing. Two points: homeschooling is dominated by reichwing babbdists, but is not inherently ineffective. If your dad is Socrates and you mom is Mary Poppins, cool. Otherwise, it narrows and divides. Public school is in dire trouble, admittedly, but because we have been complicit in its wreckage. Lastly: if you have the luxury of choice, there is absolutely some validity to not sub-contracting your parenthood. There is a bond, both maternal and paternal, that is vital and difficult, if not impossible, to replace with surrogates. Most of the world can't choose. They don't need child care because the children are working too- on Ms. Flanagan's Nikes, for example. By definition, if we are involved in internet banter we ARE elite. It would be of some help to recognize that, Fartman.
