The Liberals win everytime we run and hide in our Private Schools.

No, they don't. The liberals lose. The liberals don't get to indoctrinate MY kids, or the other homeschooled kids I know (forget private school -- I want it done right and I'll do it myself). My kids are being raised to understand true American values, to be able to think, to value their liberty and their independence. My kids are being taught that every time the polls are open, we go. And that we don't vote for people who trample on our rights.

In the meantime, I still have a vote in my school district. They don't take that away, any more than they give my tax money back (darn it).

Even in VA you have to be at the school bus stop to be considered under school authority. Being in a yard half a block away is not under the authority of the schools--I know this because I experienced thier "not my table policies" in my day.

These particular schools did such a "good job" protecting my siblings and I that we would not send our dogs to these schools and they are considered "good schools." They are pretentious miserable places where the majority of the teachers, if you were not in a gifted class, did not try to teach you anything. If you were the 100lb 12 year old being bullied you were told to "stand up to the bully" that was 100 lbs heavier and a foot and a half taller--but don't get yourself punched because then they will have you suspended for a week.

How I despise these schools. The teachers are happy to let Lord of the Flies take place as long as it makes their path smooth. They get all uppity about kids playing in a yard half a block from the bus stop, but did not bother to stop me being thrown into thorn bushes and having to run home from school and lock my doors. It got to the point where I joined enough after school clubs to be able to stay after nearly everyday till my mom was done with work--those days I could not stay after I took another bus and sat on my moms car till she was done.

No, I have nothing but contempt for them and their policies, and my kids will never ever darken the door of a VA public school.
