 Parents must no longer abdicate their parental responsibilities to schools (TV, phones, social media, etc).

"My two semesters as the parent principal educated me in the realities of the Public School system. It taught me that proper schooling can make the spirits of our children flourish and bloom. 

That blossoming intellectual development we all desire for our children is absolutely within reach when we only allow the freedom for it to occur."

It floored me that this man’s 4th grade child was not taught phonics.  I taught both my kids the alphabet & then phonics at 4 years old.  They both started school being able to at read or if they didn’t know the words they could at least attempt to sound out the words. 

Public schools are committing educational malpractice on our children to be able to easier control them .😡
