Educate Yourself

I would like to respond to Mr Davies Letter on Friday about the public school system. The public school system is a travesty beyond all measure. The No Child Left Behind has done just that, left millions of children behind. Children in the public school system today will enter a world that they are not prepared for, simply because the government thinks they know what the children of this great country need to learn (how they need to learn) better than the parents do. The parents of the children have to go with what the government tells them, or spend their own hard earned money to send them to a private school to get the skills that they need, not to mention still pay taxes for the very schools that they pulled their children from. It is time for government to get out of the school business and let private "accountable" schools teach the children. Then, and only then, will parents have a true say in their children's education. Also if the schools are private, then a parent will truly have the right to put their children in a school of the parent's choice not the government's choice, and not have to worry about paying taxes for a school that they don't care to be using. Teachers in a privatized system will be paid better, have more rights, less bureaucracy, less red tape, and less vanishing promises by government officials, letting them focus what truly matters, The Children. Remember the government can not effectively run your local DMV office, yet we believe they can run our schools. Furthermore it is broke so we must fix it! The only political party that has a true solution to this ( not simply putting bandages on the wound ) is the Libertarian Party.

Viva Liberty!
