Is it your usual technique to brand someone's views as "angry," if you don't like them? My son is an adult now, my parental duties are done, per se. I have no skin in the current "game." I just feel sorry for the parents who are struggling and have it even harder than we had, and I was speaking from experiences about what's offered in terms of education here, vs what is/should be expected, to help the current parents.

Now, why would I be offering my personal details in an online chat:-)?

Please don't stir politics into education. It's already the main problem here as is, and you seem unable to get it and adding on Marxism in addition.

No offense, but you seem to be all over the place with your "views." I am talking about that the core sciences like math, physicals, biology, chemistry, etc., are being replaced in America with "social-whatever/theories" - it ruins American kids chances to succeed.

The textbooks competition entries could be blinded, and I'm sure there are plenty of parents, who would be able to distinguished what's "offered."

Angelina,... not a technique, just an observation you seem unaware of the anger (or fear) within your comments. I don't agree wholly with your view, but do agree partly with it. I appreciate the burden you feel for parents wanting their children to have a sound education.

Unfortunately, I think the reality of 'politics' is inexorably tethered to public-education, since government funding, agencies, and legislation are involved.

There's not a simple solution to this complex government-bureaucracy knot. However , Home-schooling is probably the best work-around at present. And the way that movement is growing is forcing government-schools to adjust,.. or simply go out of business.

And just as you are unaware of the inevitable 'politics',.. there's a huge insurgency of cultural Marxism undermining sound-curriculums? I agree that the core sciences are being undermined and neglected in favor of nonsense social-engineering in DEI-CRT (Diversity-Equity-Inclusion.. Critical-Race-Theory).. along with another 'Grand Deceit',... the theory of Man-Made-Climate-Change,.. which also is a 'political' faux-science deceit promoted by Statist-Socialist-Marxists.

This is not accidental, but intentional 'political indoctrination' into destructive demoralizing of America's (and the West) societies. And it's those who adhere to Socialist---or Statist-Communist-Fascist-Marxist-Islamist ,.. political ideas... who are adamant about indoctrinating American kids into those false beliefs.

You know Boyd, of course i am not sure, but it's starting to sound like you may be dealing with a non-human machine, not a flesh-and-blood woman with an angel name.
