The Importance of A Good Education

Please watch the above video and then read.

I am constantly trying to convince parents around me to take control for their child’s education.  The public school system that we dealt with in the past is a failure.  Which is why we decided to homeschool our son and also use a learning center to further his education.

I was reminded why we yanked our son out of the public school system after viewing that video.

  1. The system here is myopic and focused on statewide results.  Don’t bother mentioning nationwide or worldwide.
  2. The system here is more concerned with AYP numbers than with an actual quality education for it’s students.  If they were actually concerned with quality education the AYP numbers would improve.
  3. The system here has no logical concept of global economics, or the global job market and the competition for jobs that their students will have to face.
  4. Too many parents in this system think the schools are babysitters and don’t take an active interest in the system or the education provided.

Thank God we are out of public schools.
