Homeschooling ought to be illegal because kids need to be exposed to diverse people and ideas

Public school doesn't work though. I had to go to a private school specifically cause the system doesn't work for people like me.

Sounds like the private school didn't work either.

Didn't work for me=/=doesn't work

because nothing is universal

My point was that it doesn't work for everyone.

we're having a huge issue in my province with public schools and it's led to teachers having a work to rule and nearly striking multiple times. the main disagreement between them and the gov is $$$ but there's also an issue of class size and dealing with children on IPP attachments (the kids who need quite a bit of extra help, like blank is discussing.)

I think it's an interesting issue because you don't want to segregate these kids from 'regular' classrooms but they're taking up the majority of teaching resources if they're there. definitely a tough one to deal with for both sides, and since neither have a definitive solution it's just a whole bunch of mudslinging.

Do you have any way of proving this? It's pure assumption.

And if Trump sent his kids to a public school, they might do just fine. Don't act like you know anything about his family.

"Just fine" ain't good enough for the Trumpkins. Winning is too important for Trump. They need to be the best.

lol we all know they went to private schools. Don't act like it's impossible to know anything about a very public person's family.
