David Boaz Quote

"American [public] schools are failing because they are organized according to a bureaucratic, monopolistic model; their organizing principle is basically the same as that of a socialist economy."

The quote is a great overview and extremely accurate in its myopic focus but, diverts attention from an otherwise staggering check list of ills.  -- Mike, Norwalk      3
Another of many reasons that schools are failing is the teachers unions. They make it almost impossible to fire ateacher, no matter how bad they are.  -- jim k, Austin, Tx      4
On the contrary...the Dept. of Education is succeeding brilliantly. Provided you understand their goals that is...  -- J Carlton, Calgary      2
Bingo, it is the socialist model, crumbling before their eyes, The effort to counter the effect, currently underway is causing the awakening of a good education well informed vs the dumb down of a sheepal mentality and its indoctrination.  WWG1WGA to KAG Trump 2020  -- Ronw13, Oregon      2
He's not wrong ...  -- E Archer, NYC
American schooling is failing for the same reason the whole system is failing because of the two big destructive industries of sex and drugs and their interfering influences. Socialists are strongly opposed to both these industries.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
Proving the quote's point. I moved to a new part of the country when my family was still young. I once owned Montessori schools and was at the time home schooling. My eldest was nationally ranked in an individual Olympic sport. The new area would not let my child participate in sports or any studies as long as I remained home schooling. My child was almost 14 when I then started them in the nearby university.  -- Mike, Norwalk
My children flourished in Montessori school, then once we began travelling the world, home schooling, we later joined with other families who were in the same boat and formed our own little school to educate our children free from political indoctrination.  It was not perfect (nothing collective really is), but parents learned as much as the students. My children are better for it and lived an incredible adventure that no school curriculum could ever provide.  -- E Archer, NYC
Some of the more 'liberal' of the teachers we hired started trying to expose our children to their form of social justice.  Without good parental oversight, teachers can preach their progressive religion all day without opposition.  That's why it is so important that our teachers be possessed of sound morals — they should be wise, not fresh out of college with a teacher's certificate (that's a red flag right there).  Teachers are examples the children follow — blue hair and nose rings should be nowhere NEAR our children.  -- E Archer, NYC
