I planned for this to be about homemaking and homeschooling, but now it's just a chaotic jumble of news and ideas about animals, kids, food, and other random thoughts.

Education privitization

Here is a decent article about education. This writer (Neal McCluskey) writes in favor of giving vouchers to each family for each school age child following the disbanding of all public education, effectively privitizing education.

He says: "Thankfully, there is a way for all parents -- the phonics crowd, whole language enthusiasts, creationists, defenders of Darwinian dogmas, etc. -- to get their way: privatization. If governments were to let parents choose their children's schools, then fights over educational standards would disappear, becoming matters of consumer choice, not political power."

I would go even further: no government involvement whatsoever. That means no vouchers. Simply let parents educate their own children in the way they see fit. Ideally, this would bring a hefty tax cut for everyone, considering all the wasteful ways the government spends money allocated for education.
