I know my blogging is slanted much in favor of homeschooling but I don't want it to seem as if I am 100% against public schools. I am not. I think they are adequate for the vast majority of pupils and even great for a small number. I worry about homeschooling rights, especially with a new President. I am not sure where Obama stands on this issue but I know where I stand. For my family homeschooling is the best educational option. I do not need further convincing or proof but if I did this article from CNN would have been another push for homeschooling. (http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/12/03/teacher.ads.on.tests/index.html)
A teacher in a California public high school sold advertising space on the tests he handed out to students. This was in response to budget cuts for his office supplies. This is such a bad idea on so many levels. Who can advertise there? I wouldn't want certain products, services or groups to be advertised to my child at school and that is ripe for a lawsuit if advertising is denied to someone and they decide to litigate. Better to just spend the hundreds of dollars on paper instead of thousands fighting a lawsuit.
Our children's education is important and if a school does not have enough paper then the school board should be lobbying the government on whatever level they need to in order to properly educate these kids.
I find it ironic that there cannot be prayer in school but there can be advertising. Isn't praying in a sense advertising for Jesus? Maybe I will buy an ad!
