Is the Public School System Endangering Our Children?

Watching my children become more and more discouraged, disinterested and stressed over school, my husband and I knew we had to do something.
We did not want them to lose their natural inquisitiveness and love of learning. We also came to believe the public system to be more dangerous than beneficial, so we decided to pull them from Public School and Home School them. We have never made a better decision.

At the High School level the public school system seemed to have very limited class choices and no emphasis or even encouragement towards entering College. Academics seem to have been replaced with character development and tolerance, of which neither was evidently in practice. The school system is rampant with ridicule, sexual deviance, drug addiction and violence. The rules and laws they have in place for handling violence within the school are ridiculous.
The law states that if you are attacked, do not fight back yell out and await help. What help? The law also states that a teacher may not under any circumstances touch a student; therefore they can not actively breakup a fight. If a student is attacked and defends themselves, they are ticketed and fined $125.00; it is so tragically ignorant, it's comical. Is a human being really expected to allow themselves to be beaten, possibly to death without making a move to defend themselves? It goes against the laws of nature and common sense.

Beyond the impractical and endangering rules supposedly put in place to make the school environment "safer", there are the kids themselves. I truly believe that as a society we have let our children down. Where in the teen world of; two working parents, Degrassi, MTV as supervision and "Brittneyspearsology", are today's youth supposed to learn morals, values and self-control? Nowhere it seems. The drama, sex, gossiping, drug abuse, violence and clicks in high schools today, make daytime soap opera's look like an episode of Little House on the Prairie.
