The last thing we want is parents taking responsibility for how their children are raised. That's the government's job.
I think the responsibility of teaching a child about a subject should be someone with actual knowledge of the subject.
Or would you have an electrician teach your child biology?
I think decisions regarding how children are educated, barring obvious abuse or neglect, should be up to their parents.

There's a better way to do it but you have to pay attention to the people you elect. Maybe this makes it easier. It's interesting to note that the left trusts the union based teaching system even though the US ranks pretty low but they don't trust parents to get involved in what's being taught to their kids.
Yes, lets allow the parents with literally little to no knowledge of the subject matters have control of how it is taught.
Makes absolutely awesome sense to me.
Parents don't know basic algebra?
I know, let's just have our children taught 'to the test' and forget the rest.
/sarcasm
I would be surprised if most parents even knew basic addition.
I am at a loss for words.
Failed topic.
Of course parents should have a say in their child's education. Least they start teaching ridiculous topics like they do in California. You know like gay history in grade school. Which itself is odd considering most second and third graders don't even know what straight means. Course gay history would only take one afternoon to cover.

So much for the TP being concerned with spending and big gov't. In New Hampshire, parents can now object to school curriculum, forcing the school district to come up with new lesson plans for the children of the parents who file the objection.
Great job, guys. I see you have your priorities in line.
New Hampshire Lawmakers Pass Law Allowing Parental Objections To Curriculum
The Tea Party dominated New Hampshire Legislature on Wednesday overrode the governor's veto to enact a new law allowing parents to object to any part of the school curriculum.
The state House voted 255-112 and Senate 17-5 to enact H.B. 542, which will allow parents to request an alternative school curriculum for any subject to which they register an objection. Gov. John Lynch (D) vetoed the measure in July, saying the bill would harm education quality and give parents control over lesson plans.
"For example, under this bill, parents could object to a teacher's plan to: teach the history of France or the history of the civil or women's rights movements," Lynch wrote in his veto message. "Under this bill, a parent could find 'objectionable' how a teacher instructs on the basics of algebra. In each of those cases, the school district would have to develop an alternative educational plan for the student. Even though the law requires the parents to pay the cost of alternative, the school district will still have to bear the burden of helping develop and approve the alternative. Classrooms will be disrupted by students coming and going, and lacking shared knowledge."
Under the terms of the bill, which was sponsored by state Rep. J.R. Hoell (R-Dunbarton), a parent could object to any curriculum or course material in the classroom. The parent and school district would then determine a new curriculum or texts for the child to meet any state educational requirements for the subject matter. The parent would be responsible for paying the cost of developing the new curriculum. The bill also allows for the parent's name and reason for objection to be sealed by the state.

No, a parent should always be as completely involved as possible with the education of their child, but having the parent actually capable of severely modifying the education system on a whim is downright dangerous.
I would like to point out that there are many private schools available for parents who want a more specialized education.

No additional spending on the part of the state is required. The parents have to pay the cost of development and implementation if they want an alternative.the law requires the parents to pay the cost of alternative

That's why only 6% of scientists are Republicans.

Which is why the whole thing is a farce to begin with. If they were willing to pay money, their wouldn't be in public schools.
