I believe it is the responsibility of all able-bodied righteous Jews and gentiles to remove their children from the cesspool of public education. I cannot believe the 'quality' of the students who have been educated by this public education system is so bad. Where I work we cannot find qualified Americans to fill the positions of Software Engineers so we have to resort to importing them via H1-B visas in order to get candidates who have the skills needed to develop high-technology products. If only America spent the time and money to improve our education instead of dumbing our students down to third world status.

Several Orthodox Jews I know have had their kids Homeschooled and they are righteous and bright young kids.

Home schooling is great. I was in home school from 8th grade through high school and I feel like it helped prepare me for college.

I think it's more important for the younger children to stay out of the propaganda machine though. In some ways it's helpful to have gone through college in a liberal setting because it makes me understand what so-called "educated" people are supposed to believe/know even if I reject their worldview. With that in hand I can debate them better.
