Karl Marx in his Communist Manifesto called for a free public instruction as my late father said in 1956 and 1970. It's coming out in my book if I can get it published and Dewey the Socialist did not help matters either. Peter F.

You seem to think there so inept, and what not... I for one went to public school all the way through and had many quality teachers. Maybe I just got lucky to grow up in a good school district, but what ever the case, you can blame the educational problems of this country on the concept of public education. And what I ask would you propose as a solution? You would shut down public schools, and have a backward uneducated populace? Wasn't it said that democracy needs a well educated populace to function. How would getting rid of public schools improve the critical thinking of the populace? Not every parent can afford to send their kids to private schools, and the private school system could never absorb all the students in the public system even if parents could afford it. I think people see the worst cases of bad public schools and then think that they are all bad, but this is clear stereotyping. How about getting people more involved in the public school system to improve it on a grassroots level? Clearly people need to be personally involved in their kids education. And the idea that turning all education over to the private sector will fix education is just as ludicrous as believing that the government will do it all. We have to be personally involved, that is the solution. - Isaac Mon, 08 Dec 2008 18:17:24 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4219#comment-116 "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" That's God message to our public schools - James Warren Mon, 08 Dec 2008 12:12:06 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4219#comment-104 It's amazing what they're actually teaching in government schools instead of what they 'say' they're teaching in government schools. - RichardR369 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 15:50:30 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4219#comment-101 Francis Schaeffer's trilogy (beginning with The God Who Is There) and subsequent works marked the problem, stemming in liberal theology over a century ago. The effects were traceable in the 60s, and, as he predicted, they continue apace. Philosophy seems academic to some, but first questions are answered, whether consciously examined or not. "How Should We Then Live?", now remastered on DVD with pdf study guides is still an excellent small group study. - Pat Henry Sat, 06 Dec 2008 08:55:56 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4219#comment-85 We have a very serious issue here. Child Protective Services in every state is destroying families and children lives. We The People need to make a stand and stop the corruption in Child Protective Services. Our children are our future. They are being kidnapped,drugged and placed within the foster-care system for government social security funds, grants,and incentive bonuses. Studies reveal that children are 11 times more likely to be abused in state care than they are in their own homes, and 7 times more likely to die as a result of abuse in the foster care system. 1,111 children die each year as a result of child abuse, more than half of which occur after CPS takes custody. For each child removed from an abusive home, SEVENTEEN were stolen for no good reason at all - GodsPlan4TheChildren Fri, 05 Dec 2008 01:04:20 +0100 http://jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4219#comment-84 I agree with you, Mr Duke, and I know a cure. Close down those public schools! In my father's generation a principle could have risked being tarred and feathered for saying stupid things like Mel Riddle. Teenagers will get the message that relative to their lies and cheating is the consequences of having to go out and work for a living. That is if the parents and the school principles stop acting like fools. Teenagers aren't stupid. They know how to manipulate their parents, especially the ones that run to their child's defense even when their child is caught cheating and stealing. "Oh, my, oh my don't you dare touch my child. Don't you dare lay a finger on my little angel." Those are the kinds of parents who the Bible says must "hate" their child for they dare not spank their little bottoms at a time in that child's life when the spanking would have done some good. Now that they are teenagers the problem is left up to someone else to fix. It would have been easier for everyone concerned to not have "spared the rod" and gotten more familiar with the Good Book and thrown Dr Spock's Baby books in the trash. Not all children need the rod and some are fast learners when the rod is applied! I learned very quickly. However, all children need to learn right from wrong and there is no better authority than the Bible for that sort of instruction. Now, I suppose we'll hear from the atheists that the Bible is a fairy tale. But even these folks can't deny the fact that when the Bible was in the public schools the problems with discipline, cheating, lying was dealt with immediately. Public school kids turning guns on their fellow class mates was something unheard before the "Modernists" kicked tradition out of the government schools and put in the namby pamby types like the Riddles in charge of your child's education. - archtoplee Thu, 04 Dec 2008 18:03:29 +0100
