They gather to do drugs, have sex and rap. Not learn. its time to end the farce.

In the early 1980s I spent two years in a private Christian high school (before telling my parents either enroll me in the public school my grade school friends went to or I would do every thing in my power to get expelled). In those two years I saw more violence, drug use, and teen pregnancy than I ever saw in the public school system. Too often parents saw private school as the last chance for their delinquent children to shape up before they shipped them off the military school.

I won’t dispute your account. Its possible. I’ve been to services where the organ girl could cuss better than a longshoreman.

But what you experienced clearly was an exception. If it were that bad on a massive scale, it would be in the news daily, 24/7 exposes.

Pedophile priests were kept secret for thirty years.

Good thing no public school teachers ever sleep with their students.

from Has Media Ignored Sex Abuse In School? - CBS News

Consider the statistics: In accordance with a requirement of President Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act, in 2002 the Department of Education carried out a study of sexual abuse in the school system.

Hofstra University researcher Charol Shakeshaft looked into the problem, and the first thing that came to her mind when Education Week reported on the study were the daily headlines about the Catholic Church.

“[T]hink the Catholic Church has a problem?” she said. “The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests.”

Which doesn’t negate the fact that the church kept it a secret for thirty years no matter how much you want it too.

I guess someone has missed some recent high profile cases involving education and the cover up of sexual abuse. Granted those were universities but lower education has quite a track record of it as well.

from Schools, report sexual misconduct: Our view

A USA TODAY Network investigation found dozens of teachers with hidden histories of sexual misconduct working at schools or in other jobs with access to children, where supervisors knew nothing of their pasts. In several cases, there were tragic results. Illinois elementary school students were forced to eat off a teacher’s crotch. Five elementary school students were sexually molested in New Jersey.

Hiding sexual misconduct, enabling perpetrators to move on, is so common among school systems that there’s a name for it: “passing the trash.” And yet even though educators and child advocates have long known about the problem, existing laws have failed to end the practice. Efforts to pass new laws have been thwarted, at times by teachers’ unions or have missed the crux of the problem.

Which STILL doesn’t negate the fact that the church kept it secret for thirty years no matter how much you want it too.

I didn’t say it negated it, I am saying there is no valid reason to single them out other than bias.

Sorry but the only reason to bring it up is to deflect away from the church.

But atheism is a religion. Secularism is a religion.

Neither of those are religions.

And “secular atheism” isn’t being taught in public schools. It isn’t even a thing!

I think you need to go back to school and maybe actually learn something this time. It’s obvious whatever schools you attended failed you miserably.

The Supreme Court has recognized atheism as equivalent to a “religion” for purposes of the First Amendment on numerous occasions, most recently in McCreary County, Ky. v. American Civil Liberties Union of Ky., 545U.S. 844, 125 S.Ct. 2722, 162 L.Ed.2d 729 (2005).

Has the U.S. Supreme Court recognized atheism as equivalent to a 'religion'?

In siding with the plaintiffs, Haggerty cited a 1961 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Torcaso v. Watkins, which referred to “Secular Humanism” as a religion

I need to go back to school?

I’ve always said my grandmother learned just as much in a one room school house as kids today in these $200,000,000 metropolis high schools being built. Having said that, the classroom isn’t going away! The school district I live within went to iPads 5-6 years ago and test scores have been dropping. Students watch teacher’s videos online during class time and are suppose to ask questions if they’re not comprehending the material. Instead, kids are constantly using the iPads for social media throughout school day.
Oh, and district also went away from teaching writing skills (cursive) because the future won’t require writing anything they say! Sad…

Public schools don’t work for a lot of reasons. They have become a gold mine for politicians and teachers that has nothing to do with the welfare of the kids. Its incredible the money that is wasted.

Private schools outnumbers public ones even till the close of the 19th century.

With modern tech, the entire concept of transporting kids to a common location (carbon footprint the size of King Kong), in unsafe conditions, learning progressive leftist on public dime.

Is so yesterday.

Private enterprise, churches, deranged Democrats, all should develop their own education programs and these would be via the Internet, available to anyone who want them.

That would end my tax dollars going to indoctrinate lefitst progressive lunacy in children that will require years of reality to disabuse them of.

And billions of tax dollars will be saved.

And the need for more workers during this low unemployment Trump era, can be met.

There’s always Tent Cities for the teachers that can’t function in the real world.

no one is stopping you from putting your kids in private school or home schooling them. What you are proposing is cutting off access to those who can or will not. Like an ignorant populus, do you?

Incorrect. I’m proposing we end the boondoggle of progressive public education. Its a scam. Doesn’t teach, is a source of funds for Democrats political party.

You can still opt for public schools. You pay for it. Progressive U.

Let everyone do what they think is best, and not make everyone pay for a failed obsolete system that is corrupt.

I had no idea the state was the only entity capable of educating people.

No body has made that claim…Private schools exist…use them. Home schooling exists…use it.

And what about those parents who cannot afford it. Right now public school is that option for them…the option used by the vast majority of parents.

You don’t think private schools have athletic teams? Some of those private school teams are quite dominate in these parts.

[gooddad409]

You guys want to indoctrinate the masses. Lets just be frank here.

[Bodecea]

So…what to do with all the children whose parents cannot afford private school and are unable for some reason to home school?
