You know, like it or not, these kids and people are part of our society. They are not going to go away.
Okay.
Do you really think some Americans believe poor children are NOT part of society? Do you really think anyone believes they will go away?
Please explain this post.
Point being, what do you suggest we do about it? Ignore the problem and it will go away? I've yet to see you make any kind of suggestions at all. You seem to just be satisfied with the status quo.

You posted a strawman argument. No one believe what you stated.
So...if one does not offer solutions, one must be satisfied with the status quo. Another strawman argument.

No one believed what I stated about what? Schools and how the ones that are underfunded are failing the students? Okay, people can believe what they want, but that's only common sense. Lol!
do you understand what a percentile is?idiots raising idiots. hooray.
You've just catapulted into the idiot category.
"Drawing from 15 independent testing services, the Progress Report 2009: Homeschool Academic Achievement and Demographics included 11,739 homeschooled students from all 50 states who took three well-known tests—California Achievement Test, Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, and Stanford Achievement Test for the 2007–08 academic year. The Progress Report is the most comprehensive homeschool academic study ever completed.
The Results
Overall the study showed significant advances in homeschool academic achievement as well as revealing that issues such as student gender, parents’ education level, and family income had little bearing on the results of homeschooled students.

You feel stoooooopid?
i have no doubt that home schooling works for some people, and that their children do well. although those parents with the time and resources to truly home school correctly would have the time and resources to make sure their children are doing well and receiving a good education if their children attended public schools.
my main concern is that not every parent is equipped to be a teacher. for instance, i took calculus classes in high school. my parents are smart people, with advanced degrees, but neither of them could teach me calculus. I could teach my child calculus, but I don't have sufficient skills in the language arts to teach them well.
and knowledge aside, if you're keeping your kids out of schools because you want to indoctrinate them and avoid exposing them to other ideas you're an idiot, no matter how well your child scores academically.

Do you think some people think 'these kids and people' are NOT part of our society? Who ever claimed that they were NOT part of society? Do you have anything to support this statement?
And...did anyone ever claim they are 'going away?'
I say, we get rid of teachers' unions (which do more harm than good, IMO) too. They certainly aren't designed to help the kids in any way. I do think that some unions are still necessary (like in the construction industry), but I never understood this dire need for a teachers' union.
