Home Schooling and the Status Quo

We need to change our Educational System, it is not good enough and just like other major problems like our political system and health care system, it's broken. We all know the educational system is not working and most public schools are nothing more than glorified baby-sitting, rote memorization centers of indoctrination. What value is this to our society or civilization really?

Interestingly enough everyone freely admits the educational system is broken and that it needs to be fixed and yet trying to get anything done with the current barriers of the status quo is a little unnerving and who has the time to deal with it all?

Indeed, this is to be expected, you know the Status Quo, it's everywhere. Let me tell you a little story. I had brought forth a "Neighborhood Watch Patrol Plan" which has been successful, everywhere we have instituted it. Yet, every time it is suggested we hit a literal brick wall due to the status quo (local law enforcement agencies). Amazing, that they are not interested in solving the problems, making it better or winning, only in their fiefdoms.

This is human nature of course, still it is unacceptable, surely mankind is better than this? It takes a lot to be a change maker, and it is worthy, but you have to be willing to go the distance, few are. But they finally did instituted my Neighborhood Mobile Watch Program in NYC with the Taxi Cabs, so eventually if you press on, you can get it done.

So, it is possible to change things that are broken and solve the challenges and problems of our day, but it takes time and there are emotional costs and some hard headed people in the way. Many people have just given up on their local school systems and turned to Home Schooling and the Status Quo is worried about the rapid growth in home schooled families as well they should be. A little competition is good for them.
