I would imagine in your community that if a teacher has anti military left leaning views that they either are quiet or may have the oppurtunity to seek employment elsewhere. Out here in what is becoming the "Peoples Republic of Oregon" this thinking is both openly encouraged and rewarded via the public schools. Witness time off from school for students to participate in anti-war rallies up in Portland as part of a social studies class. I'm finding that I cannot agree with what or how the public schools both teach and are administered. They want to take responsibility for WHAT your children think, not teaching how to think for themselves. There is a well defined social agenda in our public schools, it's not hidden. This is not what I think schools are for. Home schooling, in this house, is very regimented, seperate school room, time and work schedule. Our state requires us to pay to have our children tested to make sure they are meeting minimum state mandated educational requirements. These scores are compared against the state averages from the public schools. Our children are testing in the 99th percantile. There is no 100, that's as high as they can score. About the socialization, not even an issue. Thanks, Bill
