Ned responds:

What's not enough for ANYONE is public school. Those places are the centers
for the limitation of learning, the denial of education. *Dumbing Down* is
not just a catchy phrase, it's the national government policy.

You don't still believe that schools offer actual education, do you? Think
about your own statements -- saying that there is so much you don't know.
That's a good place to start...knowing that by going to school yourself you
learned so little, and have not learned SO MUCH since. School teaches
children NOT to learn, to despise the process.

The government teaches ONLY what it wants us to know...Darn little.

The place to get an education is EVERYWHERE BUT GOVERNMENT SCHOOL.

Well - there is that "hidden curriculum" -- so you do get an education there,
too, just not what most of us, here, think of as a "good education."

And - once again - I have to point out that these comments apply EQUALLY to
most of the private schools too. Often even MORE so!
