blox - Oh, so now it's the private schools and homeschooling causing the public school problems. Just admit it, you/your system can't stand being compared to a private entity that lays bare some of the rot in public education. Case in point - just ask your public school system to define what a woman is. They can't? Well isn't that just special. And you think it is the private schools and homeschoolers with the problem? (I will admit there are still some mostly rural areas that know there is a difference between men and women).
