    Schools are “still bad”? This isn’t the attitude you normally post around here. Homeschool, yes; take responsibility for your children’s education, yes; but knocking down schools in the process? No. And remember, in a democracy we do have the money and we do have the power over our own schools. While I fully support individual families to make the best decisions for their members, no homeschooling family should forget the importance of having free and thriving schools for all our neighbors.

      Hi Katie! I’m not knocking down anything, but I like to share interesting quotes about education with my weekend links that get us all thinking (whether or not we agree with them). This one is from a former US Secretary of Education.
