@police-and-military-are-welfare-whores I was thinking of classical liberalism, not the sham liberalism of the last hundred years. P.S. I like your account name. I've had conversations with "public servants" along those lines, it never goes well, usually ending in my being cursed at and threatened.
@@MrWakeupUSA Many kids are getting their first true physics and science lessons at the hands of parents who were too busy before. Much of what our children are taught in school is trash pseudoscience.
Either they don't teach history and civics at all, or, even worse, they teach a radically perverted toward the Left version that does far more damage than good.
When I was a kid in the 60’s, I had a classmate whose parents took him out of school for a year. They sold their house, bought a sailboat and took a year to circumnavigate the globe. He was home schooled (or more accurately “boat” schooled) for the year. When they returned the subsequent year, although he was still in the same grade as we were he was probably two to three years ahead of us academically. The funny thing is that all the adults in my life (my parents included) thought his parents were foolhardy and irresponsible to doing such a thing. Secretly, I wish he took me along.
We know a family that did kinda the same thing except they bought an RV and trecked around the U.S. After doing that they wound up working as missionaries in Mexico somehow and then as missionary trainers in Hawaii (teaching missionaries how to teach hydroponic farming to people in third world countries) , with their kid along with them the whole way. I think she may have even gone on trips to some of the third-world countries with them. Now the kid in college somewhere after having an incredible childhood full of adventure and more experiences traveling and meeting different people than 99% of American kids her age.
End mandatory school, ged and hsd requirements, age limits, minimum wage, and exsessive regs. People should be able to learn how to do a good job they want so they can afford a house and car before 18. For those who and whos parents cant afford it, tax deductible chairty and or the about 180,000dollars spent on k thru 12 per student could pay for it and trash k thru 12 and some of that money could be used to promote more independence and healthy living. Regardless If schools reopen or not, the funding should go to parents to send their child to public, private, charter, religious, or home school, or to a babysitter or day care(they could do online schooling), of their choice or their childs choice. Preferably the child should be able to choose as long as the school they want to attend isnt to far. SO SENDING THEM BACK TO PUBLIC SCHOOL ISNT THEIR ONLY "FREE DAYCARE" OPTION. so money won't be the obstical that stops them from sending their child somewhere other than a public school while they go to work. Children should be given the option to make more of their own choices regarding their education and what they are taught. We need more education choice. More cirriculum choice. Tax funded education should be more geared toward individualized job training for a good job the child wants, instead of teaching them a bunch of info they forget after the test and never use and is irrelevant to the job they want.
I wanted to spit when he said that. I can't find one kid educated in public schools who knows the principles of our nation, the difference between public servants and rulers, the meaning of "rule of law", or the importance of our Constitution and the rights it delineates. They are taught that politics is the process of getting things out of the government. The schools are teaching democrat-ism, not democracy. Certainly not Constitutional Republican-ism.
Same here! I'm about to graduate after spending most of my studies being homeschooled, and I'm glad others are getting a taste of how much more rewarding homeschooling is!
B-b-b-but how are you going to learn how to solialize without going to a public school. Surely you must have grown up awkward and socially inept at home?
@@nick7072 Not at all! I've got the neighbor kids to hang out with, my friends at church, my co-workers at my part-time job, etc... I have plenty of socializing I can do, and being a homeschooler hasn't held me back thus far through life. 👍

After more than 2 months of homeschooling our child, we have decided to take her out of the school permanently. This experience was priceless and we loved every minute of it.
Isn't it great to have your kids home with you? I've been homeschooling my 6 year old this year and I love seeing him play with his little brother. It only takes about an hour to do actual school work for his age.
I was forced into staying home with my kids bc their other parent was deploying and I couldn't leave them with a sitter 12 hrs a day, and then kinda forced to homeschool bc the system kept bugging me about everything thats wrong with my kid. Sometimes that's what it takes to break the ties, just being submersed in it long enough to get used to it. I thought I would go back to work after the deployment, but I had already gotten over the drudgery and broken through to actually enjoying 24/7 with my kids :)
During my Army career I did a 5 year stent as a recruiter. My homeschooled applicants were among the highest scoring on the Asvab test... "Armed services vocational aptitude battery"...
I went to public school my whole life and I scored a 97. But guess what? Over half of the answers I knew came from working at home and self teaching (interesting RUclips vids) ( I live on a farm)
I homeschooled my son intermittent through middle school and at 14 he took a test at a community college and started college courses part time, when his friends were graduating high school he had an associates
The military doesn't seem to like home schooled kids. It's wants high school grads. When I was in the Army (c 1970) we had quite a few kids that didn't finish high schools but got a GED. I thought they are good guys.
John Gilmer high school in the 1970s was different. It was a time where school was stricter and the curriculum was more applicable to learning. Also teachers were respected. Today school consists of socializing first, no spelling in the curriculum and in middle school nobody gets held back. You can skate through school and not ever learn how to read or write. That’s why homeschooled kids could pass any test, because they get to learn everything required by the tests on a one on one basis. With our technology, you can really advance a person if you homeschool him. Also homeschool doesn’t necessarily mean never leaving the home. My son took classes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I had all the freedom of designing his curriculum. Having a job at 14 was part of his curriculum too. He worked at a Deli part time and learned about earning and saving money. That’s something that many kids do not learn anymore. I bet you and I had jobs at 14. I had a penny saver Route at 13. Different times, different kids.
I have been home schooling my kids. So far, they've learned that China sucks, the US is great, my boy learned he's a boy, and my girl learned she's a girl.
Well said, and communism manifestos in the common core...shouldn't surprise anyone. Common everything for the non elite is their motto, so public school is bad for maintaining a freedom loving society.

I was homeschooled my whole life up until college, and I'm very grateful for that. I could go at my own pace and the curriculum could be adapted to me. When I did attend college I performed much better academically than most other students. I even graduated with a 4.0 GPA and honors. I'd highly recommend homeschooling your kids!

I just had a conversation with my home-schooled kids (11, 9, and 7) about how the politics we see in Star Wars (episodes 1, 2, and 3) parallels the politics of today. Tell me a typical public school student can do that, and I'll get the fire extinguisher for your pants.
@Richard Fox Parents have a different type of love to teachers. Most teachers do desire their students to do the best they can. However, parents give their kids an intimate love that no one can give them.
@@daniellucas5330 They have a VERY unsuccessful way of showing it. When they write their countless letters to the editor and their generously allotted special editorial columns, and of course their endless protest marches, it's the exact same list of horribles. VERY RARELY do they remember among all their btchs about pay/respect/conditions/hours/blah blah blah, to include; "I mean....FOR THE KIDS"
As an adult son of a now-retired elementary ed teacher, I’ve witnessed several instances in which former students have run up to give her hugs. Some were even adults at the time. Not all... but many teachers are very loving and concerned about their students’ lives. Homeschooling is and has been an option for some time. I think many parents either don’t feel confident in their teaching abilities or feel pursuing their own careers while allowing trained professionals teach their kids is the most efficient use of time. Perhaps, during this time though, some parents that lacked confidence have found they actually like home schooling and will pursue it. Others will be thankful when they can devote full focus to their careers again. Regardless, both approaches have value and we remain free to choose for ourselves. And THAT is what makes America great!
I have friends from 2 different families that were homeschooled. These friends and their siblings are some of the most intelligent people I've known. I think if more children were homeschooled, that'd be a good thing in general.
This is precisely my thoughts. This forced quarantine IS a blessing in disguise because it showed me how we are supposed to live. I work from home now and i'm spending every day all day with my family and well, I've said many times that 2020 is the best year of my life.
When I was little I struggled in school, and got put in special classes. So my grandfather picked up the baton, and taught me most of what I know, so by the time I got to high school (which I was no longer in the special classes), I was performing better than most of my peers.
The best benefit for the motivated homeschooler is the ability to "deep dive" into many more subjects, as well as move ahead more quickly. When one is in a classroom setting, the teacher has to teach to the slowest and most disruptive students -so that they can catch up.
Yep and my son has four of them in his class and he hates it. Ive found out that he didn't want to go to school most of the time bc of the "troublemakers", and because the work is way too easy. This entire time since school has been closed Ive barely had to help him with anything. He pretty much reads the weeks agenda and does it himself. No wonder he doesn't want to return.
Each child is different. As a parent or a personal tutor/teacher you find your child is interested in things such as crafts, or trades and you can specialize a cirriculum to making them learn. This allows for more information to be learned. It's amazing. No wonder homeschooling is so much better

Absolute truth. My son graduated 6 out of 450 about 2 years ago from a public school. He happens to be a history buff, so he’s safe on that and reads and researches things he’s interested in learning. He point blank told me that average students go to school and are coddled all the way through-which I knew. The goal isn’t education. Public schools are a tax funded business that is failing terribly. Sadly, the people paying the taxes get ZERO say in what’s going on inside the walls. My local district often holds meetings unannounced in which they bar parents from attending. Lawsuits have done nothing to change that. Keep in mind, they are “the top ranked school district in the state.” I guess being the best of the worst is supposed to mean something. 🙄 Fact is, Federal grant money is tied to all types of programs taught in these “institutions” and the states gobble them up to make up for budget “shortfalls” of their own creation. They teach whatever drivel is attached to the money and are supported by the teachers unions for doing so. Public schools suck and the evidence is overwhelming.
I’m a retired teacher and if I was a parent of young children today I would homeschool them. Education has been on a slow steady decline the last 30 years.
@Central Intelligence Agency Not true, they're many way homeschoolers can have social interactions like play dates or playgrounds, (the whole "them becoming socially weird" is a myth peddled by so-called "educators")
My Wife Was homeschooled and she finished college at a very young age and has done great. When she finished college she literally finished at the top of her class in accounting
@Fast.n.Furiosa I strongly disagree. My life and the lives of my siblings attest otherwise. My mother was a refugee from Vietnam who had to learn English, and she homeschooled her five children on her own from the start until college. She even experienced a divorce. All my siblings are now college educated, and going onto graduate, medical, and pharmacy school. There are so many resources that parents can find and use for academic success. Life was very hard and we suffered poverty, but I do not know what on earth you are talking about. We just have to thank God for everything.
No she will know better than anyone why it's important to learn now and gain opportunities for their future.. that's why there are resources. Not even the teachers know all the subjects. And along the way the kids learn to learn for life..
@Richard Fox I agree, but we found we were specialist regarding our children and could encourage them to learn, not just from us, but find the resource, engage, and know when you know it. As they grew, we became couches, for their life of learning. Very rewarding all the way around. 😃👍
@Richard Fox I can agree with part of what you are saying, but there is something very beneficial about parents who are not 'experts' or 'specialists'. And this is that the parent and the student learn together, and grow together. Together. And there is something very unique about this, a life lesson to be learned, showing us that our 'authorities', our 'teachers' do not have all the answers. We must figure it out, together.
@Richard Fox True, I agree, each to their own. But I believe that it should be a promoted option, just as any other option, and encouraged culturally when possible, and not discouraged. Paralleled to what the video mentioned, homeschooling has allowed poorer families, such as in my own case, exceed academically, versus if we were trapped into the local public school, with higher chances of being destroyed intellectually, socially, and morally.
I was homeschooled and went further in math than either of my parents could teach. Somehow I became an engineer when my mom has an unfinished journalism degree and my dad became a salesman with his business degree.
Not being a dick to you when I say this: Yeah, it's almost like a piece of paper doesn't make you automatically competent; that math isn't magical or mystical at all; that it's actually beautifully objective and reasonably easy to learn when you do so step-by-step. To quote Robert Parr from 'Incredibles 2': Math is math!
@@IggyTthunders The point I was making is this: you don't need to be a professional teacher to get a student or your child to a higher education level than you were able to achieve. The idea that many people have is that they can't teach because they're not a teacher. If you find yourself a good curriculum, teaching your child shouldn't be too difficult.

As a former teacher, I can tell you there is a staggering amount of wasted time and worthless activities in any public school day. I got out after 6 years.
Yes but - - parents might indoctrinate their children! That is called parenting, parents bringing up children with their values- - and guess what - that might not the same values they teach in School and at universities, and homeschooled children are actually doing fine. And that is what bothers the good professor Yes But. Who is acting in the best interest of the child, parents or all the Profeesors Yes Butts?
Phoenix I don't get depressed when I go on extended vacations? :/ also, kids remeber stuff when you tell them the world is going to end or the pres is going to kill us all.
As a homeschooler who began homeschooling with my 1st child in 1999, I love seeing stuff like this. Back then, most still thought we were weird or crazy, but it all worked out. My oldest graduated from college with a 4.0 gpa and my youngest is a junior in college with a 4.0 GPA. Overall, they are both glad we homeschooled❤️
I’m actually homeschooled and know the history of the Soviet Union REALLY well. For these kids who don’t know history, it’s like walking in to the last 15 minutes of a movie. No idea what’s going on.
Back in high school there was no mention of the Weimar Republic, USA provoking Japan through sanctions, the holodomor. Basically WWII was "evil mustache guy started war and the good guys saved the world from his evil" according to public school curriculums
I didn't have a clue about ANYTHING until I went to college. School was just an overbearing pressure-cooker to make people feel inferior and blame the victim.
Jack Mcslay I actually think the us handled Japan pretty well, but yes the majority of details are left out. Like the fact Stalin would’ve stayed out of the war if Hitler didn’t break the treaty. The pure lack of understanding is disturbing
Throughout my time in Public Education that all I did was learn a standardized test for 17 years (2002 to 2019) I'm finally glad I graduated a year ago. My creativity was stripped away from K to 12th grade like how a baby Elephant was stripped of their spirits when being abused for the cruel circus life. I had to use the internet as my only help for fun, sadness/anger and learning. Ugh -_-
madden8021 excellent testimonial of how they spend 13 YEARS of full time education to beat a dead horse because you come out knowing nothing about how to function in life.
Elisha exactly, but at the same time you pledge allegiance as “one nation under GOD” everything is either contradictory or hypocritical out of the government 🙄
Homeschooling is great, extremely difficult when both parents work full time (one works 70 hours a week in average), but great. I wish more places would make resources available for homeschooling.

I was homeschooled and when I joined public high school i was the only person to pay attention in class. With the right parents homeschool is better than public school.
@@michaelsmith6818 Perhaps you're right that no one cares more but caring does not magically give a parent the tools, desire, ability, perseverance, and patience required to homeschool. Homeschooling is difficult. I'd say it's more difficult than being a classroom teacher by a pretty wide margin. There are likely far more parents who simply could not homeschool their child(ren) well under any circumstances than those who can do so adequately.
I would agree with you on the right parents make a difference. So what happens when this covid 19 pandemic is over and both parents have to return to work in order to support their family. The problem I see is that you would have some parents that would follow through and actually teach their children but a lot will not and those children will be left behind. I still believe public schools are our best bet at educating the masses and instead of focusing on tearing it down we need to focus on fixing it.
My god. Why is this the FIRST I'm hearing of this man? I mean, I heard the name 'stossel' before but it doesn't really draw the eye. Why is he not promoted more by his respective network? Hes a damn treasure of common sense!
depends on the nation you live in, I personally (as a german) don't think public schools are particularily bad, that likely means that you can improve the current system without changing too much
@@mrnarason Exactly. They're parents. That's what parents do. They should always be the biggest influence in your life while you're young. Not teachers or anyone else.
I home schooled my son with autism. He is now enrolled in an accelerated charter school, and he is doing very well. But as a single mom, I had to go into poverty, leave my job, and live in an RV. And I had no govt. support--tax payers should not subside my choices. I did not use online programs since too much screen time exacerbates my son's Tourettes and OCD. Despite the difficulties, it was the best decision. He wouldn't be near the level of academic ability if I had left him in his regular school, and he would be struggling and behind at his present school. That all said, some parents struggle, and some students have severe learning challenges. Parents do not need to feel shamed if homeschooling is overwhelming. Keep your mind open and think outside the box.
Absolutely. Home schooling is not for everyone. But it should be promoted, not looked down on, just like charter schools. One can easily see a future now of more of it, since public schools are such a failure and parents have got a taste of being teacher (or at least advisor). Cheers on your efforts, one can only hope more will be as committed as you are to a better education for their children
Things will improve rapidly now for internet learning, you'll be able to print-out a lot of learning material to avoid the screen use, I wish you the very best of luck for the future.
thedeedsmaster As if she could simply “find” a husband! Most men sadly don’t want anything to do with a single mom or raising another man’s kid, especially one with special needs.
It was a few years and because I wanted to do something other than work in an office that I attended my first college classes. I was amazed at how uneducated I was. Everything in school was my memorization and rote. College gave texture and meaning. The reading material wasn't aimed at why drugs are bad to why take drugs. This is so f'ing interesting. That was after my first lesson in Aristotle.
@Richard Fox You need math, or you will be taken advantage of in any business dealing. If you build buildings you need a number of math disciplines, even if you may not know you're using them. Math helps you make sure the bank is being honest about your loan interest.
@Richard Fox Unfortunately so, especially when you're trying to teach that overly complicated "common core". I looked at some of those workbooks, it's stupid, it was much easier to learn when I was a kid, although still annoying at times.
I'm sure the bonding and interaction from homeschooling will grow mutual respect between parents and children. This can only strengthen our homes our kids and our communities.

Despite spending billions on education our students graduate as some of the dumbest, maybe a change is required instead of throwing more money at the problem as they have been doing.
With this current situation, many children are just on an early Summer's break because their parents either lack teaching skills or don't care about raising their children. That's just the sad truth. Now, this is a slight reach, but maybe those kids start hanging out with teens engaged in criminal activity and eventually grow up to become outlaws? All because school was closed and they didn't want to be at home with potentially abusive parents. My point is that this question is way more nuanced than "public schooling bad, homeschooling good".
@@GhostSamaritan that was quite a hypothetical scenario that you painted for yourself to prove your point is right. I wonder if I could come up with a positive hypothetical to prove you wrong?
We have a huge homeschooling community where I live. We homeschool and love it! Our kids are better socially and academically, they are worried that other parents are figuring that out and the larcenous school districts are scared!!
HAH, right? I had to de-program my own kid from the (social) BS they were teaching him in school. I think it's US who should be concerned about what THEY teach our kids.
Precisely! If my kids can outscore/outperform public school kids in a number of school subjects, the one who needs to be answering that question is the public schools. Total scam!

As a former high school (Biology, AP Biology) teacher I can say that I was kick @$$ and my students scored the highest in every district I taught in (or tied for highest) but having been in other teacher's classrooms I can say that my kids will be home-schooled. A shocking amount of teachers are lazy, don't teach the full curriculum, share too much about their personal lives or opinions, and have to teach to the middle because differentiated instruction is frequently not possible. My sister home-schools all her kids. They have lots of friends, are a grade or two above their age, get all their school work done in a couple hours and have the rest of the day to play. Individualized instruction really is best.
I don't think public school has helped me at all except for math because I self taught myself for almost every other subject I was in and was at the top of my class for most of them granted I did awful in every science class I was in that didn't have anything to do with Earth and space science because I was not interested in it at all
@@thecultofcaged See that's the problem. Schools spend so much time forcing you to learn subjects you have no interest in that I feel it starts to remove your drive to learn things. If I'm not interested in the subject in high school, I am sure not going to be getting a job in that field. The school system makes you feel inadequate if you don't excel in all your classes and act like you not being interested in those subjects is just an excuse to be lazy.
When I was in grade school I loved being at home playing the Jump-Start computer games. I learned more doing those than in my first few years of school. The problem with public schools is they don't care to teach your kids, they only care to make sure your kid sits in a desk every day so they can get their check.
yes. But a question Stossel should`ve asked was "Why is it important to learn "democratic" values in a non-democratic country? I guess to teach them what not to believe in, democratic mob rule, I guess.
I quit my university when I realized that I was doing the vast majority of my learning via free online resources because the teachers were so inept and ideologically-motivated.

There is regulation though...at least in my state. We were required to test and turn in our results every other year. Oddly, (although probably because the homeschoolers fought for it) we did not take my state's yearly test...we had a choice of two other national standardized tests. And every test results were in the top 98%...this was without teaching to the test as public schooled children are taught.
Really experts can only tell us what happened in the past, because that is what they have studied. Their predictions of the future are based on their biases or agenda.

I’m homeschooled, I’m thirteen and worked a job all this spring. Me being homeschooled allowed me to have flexible hours and still stay on top of school. I read a lot of Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, and Francis Collins. I tend to finish my school more efficiently because I can learn at my own pace. I love playing soccer and like to think I’m skilled at it my mother doesn’t necessarily teach me, she just requires me to have a completed checklist handed to her before 12 pm every day. I have plenty of friends homeschooled and not. This summer I have just been granted an unpaid internship at a local zoological garden. I’m very interested in biology. I play the piano and will begin tap dance this summer as well. I’m not white but mixed my father is black. My brother scored a 34 on the ACT and is attending the University of Chicago (3rd best in the nation) I’m very satisfied with my homeschool lifestyle.

The problem is that eventual point where self-preservation supersedes the stated goal... and that's a long, slow creep that no one notices until it's too late. Just ask the Boy Scouts.

Amusingly enough, the Prussian state invented modern centralized government run schools so they could raise future generations of soldiers and housewives. We copied the system but missed its primary point: military indoctrination. Now over a hundred years later we look around and discover someone has infiltrated that school system and indoctrination is happening. Surprise!
@@jeffreyroot6300 Actually it is far older than that. Our education system derives from the education system the Romans used for their slaves.

Gabriel Tams Thank you! I did specify the modern school system, but I am a Roman fanboy amateur historian ( I have a degree in it but was a LEO for a living). I shall check that out.
Prob not but I bet it’s still more effective than most public schools. There are some amazing teachers out there but they have a ton of kids to teach, the ratios are crap and once again while I agree that those who make that choice will tend to do better, I think this will be an eye opener for many parents across the country.
Actually, forced homeschooling gives many choices believe it or not. People now have choices to educational alternatives they would have never considered. and the Free market teaches us people are resourceful.
Better than the make work horseshit the kids are forced into in the classroom. They don't strive to encourage, teachers today and for the last 30+ years seek to bring EVERYONE down to the lowest common denominator to ensure that no one's feelings are hurt. 🙄
I agree but I think it's waking people up to what's important and that there are alternatives to sending your kids off for 7-9 hours a day and hoping for the best.
@Richard Fox If K12 schools are free then where does the money and curriculum to support those schools come from (Hint: neither of those come from the "public")
Why should teachers, public servants, have a union? Especially a union that gives *contributions* to the Democrat Party at the direct expense of its non-Democrat members?
Teachers are monsters and impossible to fire , only met one or two wonderful teachers as a child and they passed away I regret not visiting sooner to thank them , it's something that still bothers me she was my middle school music teacher and I waited too long to visit I kept looking for her, she died within two years of her undisclosed illness, it just heart breaking she was a lovely person and lovely music teacher 💜
That's a LIE! It's ALSO less government POWER. If people aren't forced into schools against their will, they'll grow up demanding liberty. Can't have that!
= less government control = smarter people = less votes for democrat = more freedom = more capitalism = more wealth = higher standard of living = happier lives for everyone
The only civics they learn in public schools is from each according to their ability and to each according to their need. For extra credit they recite the mantra, "Orange man bad".
I was homeschooled from the second grade all the way to the 12th and I loved it and did very well academically. biggest thing missing from schools is life skills and financial education.
I was homeschooled all my life. I'm currently getting my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and I've maintained a 4.0 GPA since high school. My peers are doing equally well. It works.
hottleggs1 This is true for most, but I know a few families who home educate with 2 working parents. They work different shifts, so one of them is there at all times. I would not do it that way, but it works in a few cases.

A cat with three names that’s what it really is I did cyber school I would do whatever I wanted and only did maybe 18 hours of school work a day and still graduated with a and b grades
That's the crux of it. There's so much time in school spent lining up against the wall to go to another room then settling in, getting out books, putting books away and other transitions. I remember from when I was in school that there was literally MINIMUM 10 minutes wasted out of every hour. Honestly, it was probably more like 25 minutes of every hour or more.
I homeschooled my eldest k-3, this year my wife wanted him to go to public school. He learned less then my lesson plan for this year included, and he would typically only have to do core school studies for 2 hours a day, if that. One week he did all of the week's lessons in 3 hours on the first day. So much wasted time and effort in public schools.

When I was a kid in the 60’s, I had a classmate whose parents took him out of school for a year. They sold their house, bought a sailboat and took a year to circumnavigate the globe. He was home schooled (or more accurately “boat” schooled) for the year. When they returned the subsequent year, although he was still in the same grade as we were he was probably two to three years ahead of us academically. The funny thing is that all the adults in my life (my parents included) thought his parents were foolhardy and irresponsible to doing such a thing. Secretly, I wish he took me along.
That sounds cool
I wish i was homeschooled
We know a family that did kinda the same thing except they bought an RV and trecked around the U.S. After doing that they wound up working as missionaries in Mexico somehow and then as missionary trainers in Hawaii (teaching missionaries how to teach hydroponic farming to people in third world countries) , with their kid along with them the whole way. I think she may have even gone on trips to some of the third-world countries with them.
Now the kid in college somewhere after having an incredible childhood full of adventure and more experiences traveling and meeting different people than 99% of American kids her age.

Isn't it great to have your kids home with you? I've been homeschooling my 6 year old this year and I love seeing him play with his little brother. It only takes about an hour to do actual school work for his age.
I’m so excited for you. We’ve been homeschooling since 2013 and loving it!
I was forced into staying home with my kids bc their other parent was deploying and I couldn't leave them with a sitter 12 hrs a day, and then kinda forced to homeschool bc the system kept bugging me about everything thats wrong with my kid. Sometimes that's what it takes to break the ties, just being submersed in it long enough to get used to it. I thought I would go back to work after the deployment, but I had already gotten over the drudgery and broken through to actually enjoying 24/7 with my kids :)
During my Army career I did a 5 year stent as a recruiter. My homeschooled applicants were among the highest scoring on the Asvab test... "Armed services vocational aptitude battery"...

I homeschooled my son intermittent through middle school and at 14 he took a test at a community college and started college courses part time, when his friends were graduating high school he had an associates
The military doesn't seem to like home schooled kids. It's wants high school grads. When I was in the Army (c 1970) we had quite a few kids that didn't finish high schools but got a GED. I thought they are good guys.
John Gilmer high school in the 1970s was different. It was a time where school was stricter and the curriculum was more applicable to learning. Also teachers were respected. Today school consists of socializing first, no spelling in the curriculum and in middle school nobody gets held back. You can skate through school and not ever learn how to read or write. That’s why homeschooled kids could pass any test, because they get to learn everything required by the tests on a one on one basis. With our technology, you can really advance a person if you homeschool him. Also homeschool doesn’t necessarily mean never leaving the home. My son took classes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I had all the freedom of designing his curriculum. Having a job at 14 was part of his curriculum too. He worked at a Deli part time and learned about earning and saving money. That’s something that many kids do not learn anymore. I bet you and I had jobs at 14. I had a penny saver Route at 13. Different times, different kids.
Homeschooled, started college at 16, graduated in four years with honors. Oh, and I can pass a civics test.

I just had a conversation with my home-schooled kids (11, 9, and 7) about how the politics we see in Star Wars (episodes 1, 2, and 3) parallels the politics of today. Tell me a typical public school student can do that, and I'll get the fire extinguisher for your pants.
Right!? I haven’t met even one homeschooled student who wasn’t smarter and more well informed than students from public schools.
Homeschooling has an aspect government schools don't: love
Of course; as George Washington said, government is only about one thing: FORCE.
And smart people don't learn in captivity.
love creates bias. i guess your uncle comes over for friendly visits
@Richard Fox Parents have a different type of love to teachers. Most teachers do desire their students to do the best they can. However, parents give their kids an intimate love that no one can give them.
@@daniellucas5330 They have a VERY unsuccessful way of showing it. When they write their countless letters to the editor and their generously allotted special editorial columns, and of course their endless protest marches, it's the exact same list of horribles.
VERY RARELY do they remember among all their btchs about pay/respect/conditions/hours/blah blah blah,
to include; "I mean....FOR THE KIDS"
As an adult son of a now-retired elementary ed teacher, I’ve witnessed several instances in which former students have run up to give her hugs. Some were even adults at the time. Not all... but many teachers are very loving and concerned about their students’ lives.
Homeschooling is and has been an option for some time. I think many parents either don’t feel confident in their teaching abilities or feel pursuing their own careers while allowing trained professionals teach their kids is the most efficient use of time. Perhaps, during this time though, some parents that lacked confidence have found they actually like home schooling and will pursue it. Others will be thankful when they can devote full focus to their careers again.
Regardless, both approaches have value and we remain free to choose for ourselves. And THAT is what makes America great!
“It’s no regulated” yes so you can’t teach my children your propaganda.
My instant response that was "Yes! Because it's none of your fuckin' business!"
I have friends from 2 different families that were homeschooled. These friends and their siblings are some of the most intelligent people I've known. I think if more children were homeschooled, that'd be a good thing in general.

@@anyways4438 some are on lockdown. Others like myself has one breadwinner while the partner stays at home.
Its true.
also allot of free time, infact so much my friends even doubt I even do any work lol.
This is precisely my thoughts. This forced quarantine IS a blessing in disguise because it showed me how we are supposed to live. I work from home now and i'm spending every day all day with my family and well, I've said many times that 2020 is the best year of my life.
When I was little I struggled in school, and got put in special classes. So my grandfather picked up the baton, and taught me most of what I know, so by the time I got to high school (which I was no longer in the special classes), I was performing better than most of my peers.
The best benefit for the motivated homeschooler is the ability to "deep dive" into many more subjects, as well as move ahead more quickly. When one is in a classroom setting, the teacher has to teach to the slowest and most disruptive students -so that they can catch up.
Yep and my son has four of them in his class and he hates it. Ive found out that he didn't want to go to school most of the time bc of the "troublemakers", and because the work is way too easy. This entire time since school has been closed Ive barely had to help him with anything. He pretty much reads the weeks agenda and does it himself. No wonder he doesn't want to return.
Each child is different. As a parent or a personal tutor/teacher you find your child is interested in things such as crafts, or trades and you can specialize a cirriculum to making them learn. This allows for more information to be learned. It's amazing. No wonder homeschooling is so much better

John is a breath of fresh air amid pandemic tyranny.
They love that word: Regulation
Because it gives them control
Yes they do. In fact, they love that word so much that they mumble it at night as they're snoring. 😉
Regulation = Indoctrination
"If there's no regulation, we can't be sure it happens" 🤣🤣🤣
Yep, because they want SLAVES.
I was homeschooled K-12, and now I watch John Stossel videos.
What I just heard was that because government couldn't control what children learn that made it worse.
I can confirm as a 16 year old who has spent my whole education in a mid to upper public school system that civics are not taught
I was taught one semester of government my senior year, but that was 19 years ago.
Absolute truth. My son graduated 6 out of 450 about 2 years ago from a public school. He happens to be a history buff, so he’s safe on that and reads and researches things he’s interested in learning. He point blank told me that average students go to school and are coddled all the way through-which I knew. The goal isn’t education. Public schools are a tax funded business that is failing terribly. Sadly, the people paying the taxes get ZERO say in what’s going on inside the walls. My local district often holds meetings unannounced in which they bar parents from attending. Lawsuits have done nothing to change that. Keep in mind, they are “the top ranked school district in the state.” I guess being the best of the worst is supposed to mean something. 🙄
Fact is, Federal grant money is tied to all types of programs taught in these “institutions” and the states gobble them up to make up for budget “shortfalls” of their own creation. They teach whatever drivel is attached to the money and are supported by the teachers unions for doing so. Public schools suck and the evidence is overwhelming.
I’m a retired teacher and if I was a parent of young children today I would homeschool them. Education has been on a slow steady decline the last 30 years.
SO TRUE!
Yes, but education died when the government took it over. and that was far longer than 30 years ago.
@Central Intelligence Agency Not true, they're many way homeschoolers can have social interactions like play dates or playgrounds, (the whole "them becoming socially weird" is a myth peddled by so-called "educators")

Amen - a sharp drop in the very early 90's with the rise of the "Department of Education"
My Wife Was homeschooled and she finished college at a very young age and has done great. When she finished college she literally finished at the top of her class in accounting
@Fast.n.Furiosa I strongly disagree. My life and the lives of my siblings attest otherwise. My mother was a refugee from Vietnam who had to learn English, and she homeschooled her five children on her own from the start until college. She even experienced a divorce. All my siblings are now college educated, and going onto graduate, medical, and pharmacy school. There are so many resources that parents can find and use for academic success. Life was very hard and we suffered poverty, but I do not know what on earth you are talking about. We just have to thank God for everything.
No she will know better than anyone why it's important to learn now and gain opportunities for their future.. that's why there are resources. Not even the teachers know all the subjects. And along the way the kids learn to learn for life..
@Richard Fox
I agree, but we found we were specialist regarding our children and could encourage them to learn, not just from us, but find the resource, engage, and know when you know it. As they grew, we became couches, for their life of learning. Very rewarding all the way around. 😃👍
@Richard Fox I can agree with part of what you are saying, but there is something very beneficial about parents who are not 'experts' or 'specialists'. And this is that the parent and the student learn together, and grow together. Together. And there is something very unique about this, a life lesson to be learned, showing us that our 'authorities', our 'teachers' do not have all the answers. We must figure it out, together.
@Richard Fox True, I agree, each to their own. But I believe that it should be a promoted option, just as any other option, and encouraged culturally when possible, and not discouraged. Paralleled to what the video mentioned, homeschooling has allowed poorer families, such as in my own case, exceed academically, versus if we were trapped into the local public school, with higher chances of being destroyed intellectually, socially, and morally.
I was homeschooled and went further in math than either of my parents could teach. Somehow I became an engineer when my mom has an unfinished journalism degree and my dad became a salesman with his business degree.
Not being a dick to you when I say this:
Yeah, it's almost like a piece of paper doesn't make you automatically competent; that math isn't magical or mystical at all; that it's actually beautifully objective and reasonably easy to learn when you do so step-by-step. To quote Robert Parr from 'Incredibles 2':
Math is math!
@@IggyTthunders The point I was making is this: you don't need to be a professional teacher to get a student or your child to a higher education level than you were able to achieve. The idea that many people have is that they can't teach because they're not a teacher.
If you find yourself a good curriculum, teaching your child shouldn't be too difficult.
“But the problem is that there is no effective regulation to know what’s going on”

As a former teacher, I can tell you there is a staggering amount of wasted time and worthless activities in any public school day. I got out after 6 years.
Thank you John. The last "Professor " made the point FOR home schooling
Professor "Yes, but"
Yes but - - parents might indoctrinate their children! That is called parenting, parents bringing up children with their values- - and guess what - that might not the same values they teach in School and at universities, and homeschooled children are actually doing fine. And that is what bothers the good professor Yes But. Who is acting in the best interest of the child, parents or all the Profeesors Yes Butts?

I chuckled a bit with the “walking into the last 15 min of a movie”.
Spot on.
Back in high school there was no mention of the Weimar Republic, USA provoking Japan through sanctions, the holodomor. Basically WWII was "evil mustache guy started war and the good guys saved the world from his evil" according to public school curriculums
I didn't have a clue about ANYTHING until I went to college.
School was just an overbearing pressure-cooker to make people feel inferior and blame the victim.
Tom Evans it’s indoctrination!
Jack Mcslay I actually think the us handled Japan pretty well, but yes the majority of details are left out. Like the fact Stalin would’ve stayed out of the war if Hitler didn’t break the treaty. The pure lack of understanding is disturbing
The government is making a fine example with this “pandemic” how ignorant they are, why would we trust them to teach our kids?!
Throughout my time in Public Education that all I did was learn a standardized test for 17 years (2002 to 2019) I'm finally glad I graduated a year ago.

@@michaelsmith6818 Perhaps you're right that no one cares more but caring does not magically give a parent the tools, desire, ability, perseverance, and patience required to homeschool. Homeschooling is difficult. I'd say it's more difficult than being a classroom teacher by a pretty wide margin. There are likely far more parents who simply could not homeschool their child(ren) well under any circumstances than those who can do so adequately.
However if your Parents do not care about Homeschooling is bad.
I would agree with you on the right parents make a difference. So what happens when this covid 19 pandemic is over and both parents have to return to work in order to support their family. The problem I see is that you would have some parents that would follow through and actually teach their children but a lot will not and those children will be left behind. I still believe public schools are our best bet at educating the masses and instead of focusing on tearing it down we need to focus on fixing it.

I home schooled my son with autism. He is now enrolled in an accelerated charter school, and he is doing very well. But as a single mom, I had to go into poverty, leave my job, and live in an RV. And I had no govt. support--tax payers should not subside my choices.
I did not use online programs since too much screen time exacerbates my son's Tourettes and OCD. Despite the difficulties, it was the best decision. He wouldn't be near the level of academic ability if I had left him in his regular school, and he would be struggling and behind at his present school.
That all said, some parents struggle, and some students have severe learning challenges. Parents do not need to feel shamed if homeschooling is overwhelming. Keep your mind open and think outside the box.
Absolutely. Home schooling is not for everyone. But it should be promoted, not looked down on, just like charter schools. One can easily see a future now of more of it, since public schools are such a failure and parents have got a taste of being teacher (or at least advisor). Cheers on your efforts, one can only hope more will be as committed as you are to a better education for their children
Your mistake was being a single mom. A child needs a father in thier life. If you didnt have one you should have gotten one
Things will improve rapidly now for internet learning, you'll be able to print-out a lot of learning material to avoid the screen use, I wish you the very best of luck for the future.
Your self-sacrifice for your son is inspiring.

I learned about history, geography, politics, and democracy after leaving public school on my own time.
It was a few years and because I wanted to do something other than work in an office that I attended my first college classes. I was amazed at how uneducated I was. Everything in school was my memorization and rote. College gave texture and meaning. The reading material wasn't aimed at why drugs are bad to why take drugs. This is so f'ing interesting. That was after my first lesson in Aristotle.
Yep, same here.

Now, this is a slight reach, but maybe those kids start hanging out with teens engaged in criminal activity and eventually grow up to become outlaws? All because school was closed and they didn't want to be at home with potentially abusive parents.

As a former high school (Biology, AP Biology) teacher I can say that I was kick @$$ and my students scored the highest in every district I taught in (or tied for highest) but having been in other teacher's classrooms I can say that my kids will be home-schooled. A shocking amount of teachers are lazy, don't teach the full curriculum, share too much about their personal lives or opinions, and have to teach to the middle because differentiated instruction is frequently not possible. My sister home-schools all her kids. They have lots of friends, are a grade or two above their age, get all their school work done in a couple hours and have the rest of the day to play. Individualized instruction really is best.
Homeschooled my whole life, just graduated with a 3.8 gpa
Just curious, how did it affect your personal life? Were you socially awkward or did homeschooling have no adverse effect?
I went to public school but over and above that my dad constantly taught me. If he hadn't, I wouldn't know too much.
How was it relating to others and making friends? I'd imagine just fine or better but I'd still like to hear your thoughts.
I don't think public school has helped me at all except for math because I self taught myself for almost every other subject I was in and was at the top of my class for most of them granted I did awful in every science class I was in that didn't have anything to do with Earth and space science because I was not interested in it at all
@@thecultofcaged See that's the problem. Schools spend so much time forcing you to learn subjects you have no interest in that I feel it starts to remove your drive to learn things. If I'm not interested in the subject in high school, I am sure not going to be getting a job in that field. The school system makes you feel inadequate if you don't excel in all your classes and act like you not being interested in those subjects is just an excuse to be lazy.
When I was in grade school I loved being at home playing the Jump-Start computer games. I learned more doing those than in my first few years of school. The problem with public schools is they don't care to teach your kids, they only care to make sure your kid sits in a desk every day so they can get their check.
“There’s no guarantee they are learning democratic values” Does he mean democracy or learning Democratic Party values???
yes.
But a question Stossel should`ve asked was "Why is it important to learn "democratic" values in a non-democratic country? I guess to teach them what not to believe in, democratic mob rule, I guess.
This is a republic. Not a democracy.
Another reason I have zero faith in indoctrinators...i mean educators.
That's what I heard too. But if he wanted kids to learn, he should have said constitutional laws.
I think you hit the nail on the head alek.
They *mean* Marxist
I quit my university when I realized that I was doing the vast majority of my learning via free online resources because the teachers were so inept and ideologically-motivated.

Beautiful comment, she sacrificed for you and sent a well adjusted man out into the world who is capable, confident and successful 🎉
I don't think she feels it was a sacrifice, more of a job well done with great value added.
Its every parents dream to make a better person than themselves .
Success its its own reward.
Congratulations to your folks.
"There is no regulation." = "There is no means to control."
YUP, yup, yup.
There is regulation though...at least in my state. We were required to test and turn in our results every other year. Oddly, (although probably because the homeschoolers fought for it) we did not take my state's yearly test...we had a choice of two other national standardized tests. And every test results were in the top 98%...this was without teaching to the test as public schooled children are taught.
I was homeschooled from preschool through high school. I've always considered it one of the best things my parents did for me.
“Expert” means “I get it wrong most of the time”.
"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts." Richard Feynman
Really experts can only tell us what happened in the past, because that is what they have studied. Their predictions of the future are based on their biases or agenda.
@@jackburton6239 They can't do that either, apparently. Between heavily revisionist history, and "scientists" trying to recreate the unobserved past (which is unscientific), it seems they're not very good at much of anything but perpetuating their own lies.
@@SepticFuddy I guess I should say an "honest" expert can only tell us what happened in the past. Such as how many died with the Spanish Flu. The idea of "historical science" is such a fallacy. True science is observable, testable, and reproduceable.
@@jackburton6239 Exactly my point
I learned about civics at home school. I changed the oil on ours by time I was 13. At 14 the plugs and wires and tires.
This is an underappreciated joke.
I’m homeschooled, I’m thirteen and worked a job all this spring. Me being homeschooled allowed me to have flexible hours and still stay on top of school. I read a lot of Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, and Francis Collins. I tend to finish my school more efficiently because I can learn at my own pace. I love playing soccer and like to think I’m skilled at it my mother doesn’t necessarily teach me, she just requires me to have a completed checklist handed to her before 12 pm every day. I have plenty of friends homeschooled and not. This summer I have just been granted an unpaid internship at a local zoological garden. I’m very interested in biology. I play the piano and will begin tap dance this summer as well. I’m not white but mixed my father is black. My brother scored a 34 on the ACT and is attending the University of Chicago (3rd best in the nation) I’m very satisfied with my homeschool lifestyle.
Tell that "Edu-crat" that Truth, Love & Common Sense are what regulates our Homeschool !
Sounds like he's actually WORRIED about HIS job security, NOT our kids future, lol..
We have decided to homeschool next year as well
Been homeschooling my littles since 2012 this fall I'll have an 9th grader and 4th grader who both test out 2 grade levels ahead
@@mbplmommy do you use a curriculum you bought or did you source all your own lessons and stuff? I'm looking into it right now.
Good for you. As a homeschooled kid, I can almost guarantee it will be better for both you and your kids. Good luck!
Great for your kids! Just have fun! And listen to them.when you get overwhelm, relax and take care of yourself.
@@wandamiancrucifixplate568 there is tons of resources. You be overwhelmed, at the beginning, however it's worth it.

Imagine how much we could save if we weren't paying for kids to eat at school. School buses use gas. Keep kids safe. Educate them yourselves.

Convince gov to let everyone have an acre of free tax free fertile land to grow their own food and live on. End farm subsidies.
Let kids grow their own food
But then moms would have to stay home and that would be regressive. (Sarcasm)
Most families live beyond their means and require both parents to work. (Realism)
😢
3:00 - "Democratic values; civic knowledge." Ah, so no political agenda in public schools?
...that's weird, when parents spend time with their children.. they become bonded.
Who would have thought.
More home schooling means less power (and money) for the teachers' union.
Like most organizations, teachers' unions were originally necessary and good. Like most organizations, they have become controlled by elites and corrupt.
Speaking as a public school teacher who homeschools his own kids.
@@grantjohnson5785 I have a theory: Once an organization has accomplished its initial goal, its goal becomes the preservation of the organization.
@@wdtaut5650 Oh, no... even before it accomplishes its initial goal, it becomes focused on self-preservation. And there's some rationality behind that: you simply can't accomplish any other goals if you've been disbanded / destroyed / removed from power. The self-preservation in and of itself isn't evil. The problem is that eventual point where self-preservation supersedes the stated goal... and that's a long, slow creep that no one notices until it's too late.
Just ask the Boy Scouts.
@@grantjohnson5785 My example is the March Of Dimes. Not so much of a slow creep (though, I do wonder why they didn't foresee their success would mean their end), as a sudden loss of purpose.

Homeschooling is going the help get the public school kids where they need to be.
My son was homeschool during High School. He has in 3.8 GPA in Biomedical Science. God bless home schools.
You send them to Rome don't be surprised they turn to Roman Soldiers.
Amusingly enough, the Prussian state invented modern centralized government run schools so they could raise future generations of soldiers and housewives. We copied the system but missed its primary point: military indoctrination. Now over a hundred years later we look around and discover someone has infiltrated that school system and indoctrination is happening. Surprise!
Shhhhh we don’t talk about that
@@jeffreyroot6300 sounds interesting, how can I look into this more?
@@jeffreyroot6300 Actually it is far older than that. Our education system derives from the education system the Romans used for their slaves. Here you go a good video on Cicero that touches on the education system. ruclips.net/video/OLmbiX5RGmo/видео.html
"The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn"
Gabriel Tams Thank you! I did specify the modern school system, but I am a Roman fanboy amateur historian ( I have a degree in it but was a LEO for a living). I shall check that out.
Unfortunately, I don’t think forced homeschooling is going to be as effective as homeschooling by choice.
My first thought too.
Prob not but I bet it’s still more effective than most public schools. There are some amazing teachers out there but they have a ton of kids to teach, the ratios are crap and once again while I agree that those who make that choice will tend to do better, I think this will be an eye opener for many parents across the country.
Actually, forced homeschooling gives many choices believe it or not. People now have choices to educational alternatives they would have never considered. and the Free market teaches us people are resourceful.
Better than the make work horseshit the kids are forced into in the classroom. They don't strive to encourage, teachers today and for the last 30+ years seek to bring EVERYONE down to the lowest common denominator to ensure that no one's feelings are hurt. 🙄
I agree but I think it's waking people up to what's important and that there are alternatives to sending your kids off for 7-9 hours a day and hoping for the best.
Yep. They're called government schools for a reason.
@Richard Fox If K12 schools are free then where does the money and curriculum to support those schools come from (Hint: neither of those come from the "public")
Education involves balancing trade-offs, something oaf-ernment is institutionally inept at doing.
I was homeschooled all through middle and high school. I now work in my career field after graduating college two years ago with a 3.7 GPA.
END THE TEACHERS UNION!!!
Terrorist organization
Why should teachers, public servants, have a union? Especially a union that gives *contributions* to the Democrat Party at the direct expense of its non-Democrat members?
@@IggyTthunders it's a mafia of incompetent crooks
Teachers are monsters and impossible to fire , only met one or two wonderful teachers as a child and they passed away I regret not visiting sooner to thank them , it's something that still bothers me she was my middle school music teacher and I waited too long to visit I kept looking for her, she died within two years of her undisclosed illness, it just heart breaking she was a lovely person and lovely music teacher 💜
Let me guess
less student = less government funding
That's a LIE!
It's ALSO less government POWER.
If people aren't forced into schools against their will, they'll grow up demanding liberty. Can't have that!
= less government control = smarter people = less votes for democrat = more freedom = more capitalism = more wealth = higher standard of living = happier lives for everyone

No. I don't see my property taxes going down anytime soon. The government takes its cut, whether you get something in return or not.
The only civics they learn in public schools is from each according to their ability and to each according to their need. For extra credit they recite the mantra, "Orange man bad".
I was homeschooled from the second grade all the way to the 12th and I loved it and did very well academically.
biggest thing missing from schools is life skills and financial education.
The ignoring of Financial education is done on PURPOSE. They want to raise dependent slaves, not independent thinkers

Yea for you! But when both parents need to need to work outside the home the “homeschooling” model doesn’t work!!!
@@hottleggs1 i completely agree. It should be voluntary, not mandatory
hottleggs1 This is true for most, but I know a few families who home educate with 2 working parents. They work different shifts, so one of them is there at all times. I would not do it that way, but it works in a few cases.

When I used to work in school system I noticed many of the teachers were homeschooling their own children what does that tell you...
My teachers almost always paid for private school for their own kids. They never let their kids go to the schools they were working at.
Helping my kids with their schoolwork I realized that they only do real work for about 3 hours a day. The rest of their day was mindless filler.
A cat with three names that’s what it really is I did cyber school I would do whatever I wanted and only did maybe 18 hours of school work a day and still graduated with a and b grades
I homeschool my kids and was homeschooled myself. My oldest is 9 and he can do 7 subjects in about 1-2 hours.
That's the crux of it. There's so much time in school spent lining up against the wall to go to another room then settling in, getting out books, putting books away and other transitions. I remember from when I was in school that there was literally MINIMUM 10 minutes wasted out of every hour. Honestly, it was probably more like 25 minutes of every hour or more.
I homeschooled my eldest k-3, this year my wife wanted him to go to public school. He learned less then my lesson plan for this year included, and he would typically only have to do core school studies for 2 hours a day, if that. One week he did all of the week's lessons in 3 hours on the first day. So much wasted time and effort in public schools.
Wow, that much? I reckon I could've finished matric in a month if they let me
