I see this as an indictment on relying on the governments to control every aspect of our lives. Here in my country the children who are homeschooled perform so much better than children at public schools.
There needs to be a push for more localized community initiatives that are ran by local people, not government. This includes things from education to food access and such. Time after time reliance on governments fails and many are left worse than before or perhaps even homeless or dead.
The question is if neighbors can learn to begin caring for one another again enough to take these issues onto their own shoulders for their own sake and the childrens.
So true! But will it ever happen? We are involved in a retrace that will never let us choose any right path!
One can only be responsible for their burden. Begin setting the example, and as opportunity presents itself during this people will grow curious, and perhaps a small handful of those people will see the benefits and wish to join in the endeavors.
