Public Education and the Evils Thereof

There are many problems with public education. I know it, you know, and the ridiculous suits who try to create a better way of doing it know it. The problem doesn't lie with teachers or even with the things we ask students to learn. No, the problem starts at home. You see a child who has never been exposed to certain things such as proper English is coming to school several years behind where they're expected to be before even beginning school. Children are expected to have been read to, given attention, learned or at least heard the alphabet. Yet more and more that is not the case for so many students. Is this something that the government can control? Is there some way that parents could once again be responsible to have the integrity to teach their children basic knowledge before sending them to school, short of putting sterilizing chemicals in the water to prevent procreation of the ignorant. Well, we can prevent procreation of the ignorant to a certain degree. If our welfare system didn't so thoroughly encourage the idiots of the world to breed, we could cut down on some of our problems. I suppose the fact that we're heading for socialism under the new regime of anti-American tyrants may also do something to help, but I'll not hold my breath.
