I heard that they were actually considering forcing parents in kalifornia to be a certified teacher. how far gone is this country? how did it come to this? if we don't educate our child properly, they will be taken from us. we don't even own our homes anymore. the freaking government controls everything.

Lets say, you are a housewife who didn't graduate high school... can you legally home school your child?
The right to home school is probably the only thing that I would actually pick up a gun to defend or die for.
In theory, after ensuring domestic tranquility, the rule of law and defense, government's main priority should be to provide for quality education, especially at the primary level.
In practice, US society is too poisoned with fruitless ideology.
In any case, even the emperor himself said, "Dispense with the education of the schools, and have good masters at home instead."
So, you see, even then it was an issue.
By the way, Joe Biden is the product of prestigious private Catholic schools. In my district, the incumbent state representative (dem.) who touts her work in favor of public schools sends her three children - not one, not two, but three - to the district's most prestigious private school to the tune of $75,000 a year. That's seventy-five thousand dollars for three children to private school, democrat state representative.
Don't get me wrong,I know there are some homeschoolers who actually do it RIGHT, but I wonder about those who deny their children a proper education due to their own tin-foil-hat paranoia of the
Big Bad Government.
Just like anything else there are those that do it well and those that don't. I homeschool my special needs child and sent his twin to public school. It takes a lot of dedication to home school and not everyone is up for the job.
"government programming" ? I am always amazed at all the anti-education on the McPalin side. I have noticed Palin doesn't seem to be very pro-education,considering her own lack of education.

proper education? you mean the socialist propaganda machine the liberals like to spout off about? or do you mean the schools where teen girls are getting pregnant, or do you mean that drugs in schools?
or do you just mean the schools that you could not even get running if you could not steal peoples money to educate about liberal ideals?
government runs the schools. perhaps not the federal government, but government is government. I was right about one thing, and that is how to spell government.
Perhaps not the Federal Government?...... Try again.
Not even the State Government runs public schools (except maybe Vermont) ...... It's local school districts.
And home schoolers can take their kids out for all I care....don't let the door hit you in the asse.
I think she is referring to our public school motto of "3rd in per pupil spending, 18th in results."
