But teenagers attending p/p schools are frequently different than their government school counterparts. It is one the numerous advantages p/p schools have.

Links please. My consistent principles are maximum personal freedom and minimal government. What are yours?

Do you think there should be? Just mimicking the big government, socialist stances you have taken in the past on this forum.

Well, there ought to be a law forcing them to take this child, right?

With children yet against being the pawns.

Then what exactly do you mean by the phrase "twice on Sunday"?

Sounds good to me. A possible day to visit charter schools and explore other options.

So government schools are the only option for those kind of students? I find that hard to believe.

An enumerated list, please?

So this Wildcat Strike date is on all government schools calendars, Irishman? What happens if we get the horrible, horrible winter as predicated and the weather eats up all the allocated 'snow make up days' that usually allocated in the spring? A child's summer vacation has to now be shortened because some teachers want to stage a one day Wildcat Strike. Once again the children get the shaft......................

Looks like it's now up 20 government school corporations calling off classes on 11/19 to allow their teachers to strike. Add the Community Schools Frankfort to the list.

Sorry, should have used the word 'disdain' other than 'hate'. Would that be more accurate?

Looks like at least two more government schools districts are ignoring their educational mandates and closing due to teachers calling a de-facto one day wildcat strike on Nov. 19th: https://www.wthitv.com/content/news/Vigo-County-Schools-call-snow-day-on-Red-for-Ed-Action-Day-564657641.html https://www.wthitv.com/content/news/North-Central-Parke-Community-Schools-announce-closure-on-Red-for-Ed-Action-Day-564660721.html

Approx. 10% of the K-12 education market is not "flourishing", no matter how you cut it. And the public sector unions like the ISTA and NEA are fighting school choice away from traditional government schools tooth and nail. *yawn* Whatever you say Joker.

Agreed. So why does government education pigeonhole/own something like 90% of the K-12 education market? And I have never advocated for one method of education. Without the government school hegemony private schools, parochial school, homeschooling, co-op schools, etc. will flourish and grow. All potentially different methods of education.

When do the amount of "personal days" become a de-facto strike, which IIRC is illegal for public sector unions under Indiana law? How many government school corporations are going to be shut down due to these 'personal days', Irishman? The last count I saw says 17, and that will probably climb. I believe burning crosses and carrying confederate flags, while distasteful and nothing I personally approve of, are allowed under the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Both of us, in our own way. I firmly believe in the less government the better. Do you believe government schools are the best way to educate children?

Ok. I'll take the 4 dingos, but it depends on how hungry they are.

I can remember a skier winning one or two of those competitions. How can an activity where gravity does most of the work, like the engine in a racing car, be considered a sport?

Civil disobedience in the quest to makes things better has a long and storied history in this country. Some historians even contend the writing of the Declaration of Independence was illegal, an act of treason against the British Crown. And I find it puzzling you still continue to use the "a topic he knows nothing about". I do know something about it sir, you yourself have provided critical information on this very forum over the years. I also have friends and relatives who are government school employees, and have discussed the issues with them multiple times. But you continue to believe in your altruism, that your way is the only pure way to educate children. After all, it supports the status quo and helps keep the ISTA/NEA in business, right?

Good for you.

Who would what in a fight?

Yes, I am evil. And just as much of a hypocrite as you, Irishman.

Sorry you hate those who enjoy activities that you don't. You are the one with the preconceived notion that everyone who enjoys playing video games has "spent years in their mother's basement". I guess you also enjoy being blind to the truth. Also tell me, is a professional arm wrestler an athlete?

https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-education/2018/06/08/charter-enrollment-policies-changed-after-report-finds-illegal-practices/645419002/ A good result. No institution is perfect, especially relatively new charter schools. And I'm absolutely positive that a traditional government school has never, ever, ever done anything remotely considered illegal. Ever. They are as pure and pristine as the winter snow.
