Colorado - Pot? Yes. Oreo's? Hell no.

A 4 year old girl in Pre-K School was not allowed to eat her Oreo's that her own mother had packed in her bag for a snack because the teacher decided they're not healthy enough.

Where the fuck do they find these people? Another one of Michelle's food nazi's probably wearing socks and sandals and rocking the hairy armpits. Even sent a letter home to the mother telling her she needs to make healthier lunches.

Thank Christ my kids are already grown, I'd be in jail.

If that were my daughter, I'd be at school first thing the next morning and that teacher and I would have a serious talk. I would have my daughter bring a whole bag of Oreos to share with her class, and maybe a dozen doughnuts. What business is it of any one in that school what my child brings for lunch. The loonies are running the insane asylum.

You said it JD. I feel for regular folks just trying to work hard and send their kids to school these days, knowing that the liberals have completely taken over the education system and are pumping their child full of socialist hippie horseshit, because clearly they know better than the child's own parents.

How far gone are we when it's no longer ok for a PARENT to give their own 4 yr old child some goddamned cookies as a snack? The stupidity and pure arrogance of these people is painfully obvious but for some reason it just keeps on going full speed down hill.

I can easily imagine 20-30 yrs from now full blown child education camps. As soon as a child is born, it is taken from the parents for the childs own good and brought to a farm with 500 other gender neutral, white robe wearing children being raised and schooled by whatever the Gov wants or needs. Far fetched? You would think so, but frighteningly enough it's really not that far fetched if we follow this line of thinking that's so prevalent in today's society and in our schools, and now evidently in our Pre Schools as well. Don't waste a day reforming the children now.

My wife, who is a school teacher, taught at a Private School for years and the last three years has been working in the public school system. She says she used to teach kids how to think, now she's supposed to tell kids what to think. Think about that for a minute. We've even put the government in charge of day cares in Washington state. Cradle to grave, that's what they want. God help our kids and grandkids.

This has been going on since many of the members of this site were still in primary/secondary school.

In the mid-80s, the National Education Association - the largest labor union in the USA - in conjunction with the Department of Education, held a summit. During this summit they outlined and initiated a plan that shifted the focus of American schooling from STEM subjects to "socialization". If you observe the tactics used in K-3, almost everything is oriented towards behavior control and test taking, rather than building up learning tools. Pretty much any accredited school in the nation conforms to this in some fashion or another.

We've been home schooling for over a decade now. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find curriculum resources that are not moving to this model. Case in point, K-12, one of the largest virtual school providers in the nation. We used them for a couple years, but as they increasingly became the tool of choice for state run Virtual Schools, the quality of their material went downhill drastically. When our oldest was using it, subjects were heavy STEM. By the time our younger daughter was at the age we needed to start her up, K-12 was almost completely switched over to Core Curriculum.

Oh, and what's the number one argument used by traditional educators against home schooling? Socialization.

Good for you for home schooling. If more people would opt out of 'government' ran schools and would either home school or choose a private school, maybe those who make decisions would get the hint, but I doubt it. If you can teach the children to rely on the government now, you can control them later.
We've done horses for years and a lot of the kids we see at 4H shows, high school equestrian events, Junior rodeos and the like, are from home schooled homes. Part of their curriculum is to train up and show their horses. A lot of them do more than just horses. They show cows, goats, dogs, sheep, etc. One of the boys on the HS Equestrian team, who is home schooled, raises and sells all of the beef cows his family raises. He figures out the costs, the feed, when to go to sale, everything. This kid is one of the most squared away kids I've ever known and he just turned 16. He raised the money to buy his own pickup truck and pays his own insurance. His parents are both prior military and I believe he may take that route as well.

I was homeschooled, and am extremely thankful that I was. This country has some serious issues right now regarding the schooling system. The lack of basic logic and common sense (AKA Liberalism) that I notice among most of my college professors is astounding. Schools around the nation are teaching kids that they're entitled, and that they should rely upon the government for whatever they need. We're creating an entitlement society, and the result is what we're all currently seeing in Baltimore. This country will continue to deteriorate if we don't attack the stupid at the source. If you fix the schools, you fix the country. Every year, hundreds of thousand of brain-dead entitled idiots are graduating and going out into the world. These brain-dead idiots have kids, and then their kids have kids. Before you know it, the country will be 90% retarded (AKA Liberal).

Once an establishment goes that route it slowly becomes more of a public private school. I am thankful I grew up in the Lutheran parochial school system before it too began to accept some government funding ....
Exactly. Gov money in these schools is no different than asking an OMC or a Mafia family for a favor, once they do as you asked, you'll owe them for life and they'll make a puppet out of you.

Public or private, it comes down to accreditation. If you want it, you have to play by their rules.

There are many private schools out there that the only benefit is a smaller environment and less unwanted cultural influence. Not nearly as many that choose to uphold a higher standard than is required by the NEA/DOE.
