    They only butt heads with the government when their monopoly on "education" is threatened.

    We need away strip education from the Socialists, and open it up to an abundance of choices, instead of continuing the trend of modeling the monopolistic government schools after government prisons.

    Schools are scared of parents.
    Parents think their kids are angels.

    That's the problem.

    Again what you say is untrue, and doesn't really address the point that they aren't govt. unions.

    This is all fodder for the prison-industrial complex. The US has 25% of the world's prisoners. TWENTY FIVE PERCENT. We rank at 5% of the population. How ****ed up is this? And a good chunk of prisons are private. It's all $$$.

    I think the kids have too much power
    If a kid doesn't want to do something . . . parents really cannot make them do it.

    Discipline at home is lacking
    Discipline at school is lacking
    Kids pretty much run the show

    By make this a legal matter is crazy
    We want to limit the parent's authority
    then hold them responsible for the kids
    and
    we have handed the authority they had . . .to cops

    Overregulation of parents and schools is at issue
    and now adding the cops to the mix is a recipe for disaster

    SO!
    Let's see what he have going on?
    We have charter schools treating education like it's personal piggy bank
    We have schools now being a transport system to prison and legal issues
    We have college becoming a debt creation machine . . . .

    Seems like someone doesn't REALLY want people to become educated.

    Things like the Department of Education offering states a chance to sidestep the No Child Left Behind Act? Allowing states to craft their own plans that include connecting teacher evaluations to student performance? Allowing them to adopt college and career-readiness standards? Allowing states to develop accountability systems factoring in student growth?

    Waivers have been granted to 10 states with 26 more waiting.

    What's your plan?

    The someone you're referring to are the share holders and others with moneyed interest in the corporate entities that profit off the system that's being created here. Slavery is not dead, it's just developed into another mechanism. Good thing though is the supreme court recently ruled those corporate entities to be considered the same as people to continue rigging the system.
