I was speaking just for my own condition, bro. From my perspective society
was massively failing its responsibility to my kid, so I did what I did in
self defense. Capitalism was indeed fucking with the life of MY child. So
yes, I HAD to take it upon myself to educate my child. You're a parent; if
the same set of circumstances faces you, there is at least the possibility
that you will react similarly. BTW, I do NOT prescribe homeschooling as a
panacea.
I agree: "What ever happened to the idea that society has some
responsibilties to fulfill?" Certainly the public school system has
forgotten this.
As for the rest of your post ... surprise! ... I think I agree with every
word, (to the best of my understanding)
Where is my Komsomol Card?
