Great article, Bernie. It’s a flawed system as far as I can see. From the inappropriate expectations of young children, unnatural age segregation, unjust grading system, sub-standard curricula…the list goes on. Until we come up with a better plan and unless we want to contribute to the intellectual and moral dumbing-down of America, then our best option is to teach our children at home. You might disagree, but that’s what I’ve concluded after a lot of years of studying the situation.
