Billy Ray,

Boy you sound like a real radical. If you sent your children to one of
those private "Bible" schools you didn't do them any favors,
intelligence-wise.

Actually they were non-sectarian schools set up by a sorority sister of one
of my sisters.

As a professional educator she was dismayed at the direction public
education was taking and decided to see if she could do something about it.

The girls attended a few years and when they were 'mainstreamed' into the
local public schools they were so far ahead of their classmates it wasn't
funny.

The benefit is that they are both college educated having earned excellent
(4.0) grades far in excess of what their mother and I ever did.

I have to admire people who do this, but I wonder if they are addressing the
problem in general, or just making things better for their own and their
friends' kids. Otoh, if people in general want their kids to be ignorant,
then who am I to deny them? But you ran the risk of having your kids turn
out liberal. ;^)

Re: California sues Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda and Nissan for emissions
 
I have to admire people who do this, but I wonder if they are addressing the
problem in general, or just making things better for their own and their
friends' kids. Otoh, if people in general want their kids to be ignorant,
then who am I to deny them? But you ran the risk of having your kids turn
out liberal. ;^)

Hasn't someone come up with a derogatory term for this yet?

I know many Provincetown residents refer to others as 'breeders'.
