As a young kid I was homeschooled and didn’t know about the
terrible ways students bullied and teased each other in public school. So I or my brothers were given an education
after school hours with our neighborhood playmates. One thing we learned about was “government
cheese” which I think is what they called the government supplied lunch to the
poor children. It was implied that it
was cheese that the private industry (rich) had forsaken and given to the
poor. It was spoiled.
I am not here to bully anyone, but let us look at K12 and
what type of education that is actually giving your child, you will come to
understand K12 is essentially taking Government Cheese and eating it at
home. It is still the same education,
but at home. This is tied to two
ideas. The first is it is cheaper for
the government to get people to do the public school program at home. So it is money driven. The second thought is that class size has a
large impact on education and that the child will be able to get 1 on 1
attention at home.
The financial factor has nothing to do with the individual’s
education, but with the budget of the state.
The class room size, is a big factor for a student, but if you are
following the government schedule it is essentially having a chef prepare the
government cheese for your child. Sure
it may look better and taste better, but it is still government cheese.
The good thing about K12 is it exposes the parent to what
good food is and those who can teach them how to prepare it. K12 is a stepping stone out of the government
education system. Those families are
exposed to actual homeschoolers and those education programs that provide a
banquet for the student. It exposes
those who have grown numb to the taste of modern state run education the
exposure to the wonderful food available for those who leave the system.
