The Scary Facts Every Parent Ought to Know (But Most Don't) About Public Schools
Why are public schools so bad? How do we fix them? Wrong question, says education policy analyst Joel Turtel - who believes that America's public schools are broken beyond repair. In his book, "Public Schools, Public Menace," Turtel argues that public schools, because they are government-run monopolies, cannot give our children the great education they need and deserve. Parents will learn shocking facts about public schools:
* How public schools can cripple children's ability to read and their self-esteem, leaving children unprepared and vulnerable to face the world as adults.
* Why children who struggle with reading are more likely to drop out of high school, end up in the criminal justice system, and live in poverty. In other words, public schools can destroy your child's life.
* That parents are deceived into thinking their kids are getting a decent education, when in fact, many schools dumb-down the curriculum and requirements to graduate high school, to protect the jobs of school bureaucrats and employees.
* Ways that public schools indoctrinate children with anti-parent, anti-Judeo-Christian, and anti-American values.
* How public schools have become disgusting sex-education smut peddlers.
* Why public schools now "encourage" parents to give their bored, alleged "troubled," "disruptive," or "ADHD" children mind-altering drugs.
* How public schools hurt children's self-esteem, love of learning, and chance to get into college.
* . . . and many more disturbing revelations supported by pages of facts and studies.
But what can parents do? Joel Turtel gives parents a way out --- he shows them a wealth of alternative education options to give their kids a great, low-cost education WITHOUT public schools:
* How parents can give their children a quality, low-cost private-school education with K-12 online private schools for an average $1600 a year tuition (much less expensive than brick-and-mortar private schools).
* Over 20 ways that busy, working parents can use accredited, online K-12 private schools, and/or homeschool their kids, and have their kids love them for taking them out of public school.
* Information for religious organizations to expand their outreach by creating their own Internet private schools.
* Two full chapters of education resources for parents, including lists of online K-12 private schools, Internet websites for homeschool curriculum and teaching methods, parent groups to interact with other parents, general information, college-entrance help sites, and much more.
