It is cleary documented that public schooling costs spiral upward while the quality of the education plummets downward. The costs spiral upward, but then the costs of most things have spiraled upwards. Public schooling costs are not increasing as fast as private school tuitions. The quality of the education is not plummeting downward, but in fact is also increasing. My kids got much better education in school than I did 40 years ago. If you have an idea to the contrary from media reports then it is the one-sided quality of media reports. If this most basic fact eludes you then you are way out of your league. I have a superior mastery of basic facts to anything you've shown. lojbab -- lojbab Bob LeChevalier, Founder, The Logical Language Group (Opinions are my own; I do not speak for the organization.)

"Bob LeChevalier" wrote He considers that anyone having to follow any rules imposed by someone else (except their parents, I guess, since he approves of homeschooling, even though such parents may impose more rules than do any school) is "suffering". You really don't know much about homeschooling do you Bob? I know enough. Its not about *rules*, it's about *learning*, for a lifetime. It's about parental control-freaks, as often as not. lojbab -- lojbab Bob LeChevalier, Founder, The Logical Language Group (Opinions are my own; I do not speak for the organization.)

I have previously posted numerous refutations of Gatto's shoddy, false, and undocumented assertions about the schools. There ya go, Bob admits to the standard socialist smear job they are famous for. Since my postings contain criticisms that I developed myself, after researching that his posted information was false, there is nothing "standard" about what I wrote. But you've been given a chance to freely and relevantly promote your wife's books and website, and are failing to do so. This leads people to believe you are a fraud. Bob, Bob, Bob. No one can be this silly, can they? My wife doesn't need giggle your charity. I don't give a **** about your wife; I wouldn't buy her book. It is YOUR credibility that is at stake. You spout your ideological bull****, but have nary a verifiable fact to support anything you claim. Well the claim that your wife is selling a book could be at least slightly supported by a URL. Believe it or not, Bob, there is a great big world outside this newsgroup. Turn the monitor off, Bob, take a walk outside, meet some REAL people for a change. I meet lots of real people. You aren't one of them; you are a phony. lojbab -- lojbab Bob LeChevalier, Founder, The Logical Language Group (Opinions are my own; I do not speak for the organization.)

In article et, Don says...
"Banty" wrote Don says... "Banty" wrote Ah - then you have cites. Please let us know where you may have any underpinnings to your rantings here. What books have you published? Google is your friend, use it. Start with the word: homeschooling If you think you can handle it, Google: John Gatto Are you "John Gatto"? Yes or no. No. Did you google him? You said you had written books and your wife had homeschooling websites. I asked for cites. You said "John Gatto" I asked if you were him. You said "no". So we're back to those books supposedly you (no, not John Gatto) have written. Cites to your book, please. Banty |

"toto" wrote "Don" wrote: I never said I paved all the roads leading to my house. Only the one in front of my house, it is 800' feet long, and I did pave it, as the original paving was done in the early 60's and was very deteriorated. The city wouldn't pave it so I took it on myself. But, you wanted the city to do it so you wanted our tax money (if we lived in your city) to pave your street. Well, it cost $600 to pave the road myself, and I paid over $3k in taxes, so I think I have some change coming back. Now, what was that you were saying about me wanting you to pay for it? ?? You paved a road for $600.00?? All the road you need to drive on around town? Banty (amazed) |

You're one of those greedy little "tax- rebels" who imagines his money is being routed to government workers as graft. You're merely indulging in wishful accounting. Steve |

"dragonlady" wrote Once again: supporting public schools is NOT the same as being opposed to other options. Supporting the public prisons is the worst thing you can do to children, the society and yourself. Open your eyes, look around at what you're creating. ---------------- Prisons is an excellent place to put little tax cheats such as yourself when we catch you. Steve |

"Banty" wrote Hmmm, still no evidence to support his statement about quality and cost of education. What is it with you socialists that you are constantly expecting others do to do stuff for you, and give you stuff? Go do your own research and homework. You haven't learned a fundamental rule of discourse, then. The burden of proof lies with the person who has made the assertion. Your failure to do so is noted. Your admission to ignorance of the cost of public schooling is appalling. -------------------------------- Not since it never occurred, liar. Steve |

"Bob LeChevalier" wrote in message ... "Don" wrote: "Banty" wrote in message ... Unsubstantiated? Is this the part where I call you a bald faced liar, Bob? Hmmm, still no evidence to support his statement about quality and cost of education. What is it with you socialists that you are constantly expecting others do to do stuff for you, and give you stuff? We do, with regard to our own statements and opinions. We are not obliged to seek out information to support your statements, especially since such information does not exist because your statements are false. Go do your own research and homework. We have. It won't be hard, just pick up any newspaper, all of them have almost daily articles about the increasing costs and declining quality of public schooling. You believe what you read in the paper without questioning it? What is there to question when the costs outlined in the newspaper are supported by property tax bills? You really ought to consider getting your head out, Bob. It is cleary documented that public schooling costs spiral upward while the quality of the education plummets downward. If this most basic fact eludes you then you are way out of your league. ---------------------- The only thing that is documented is how when you greedy little tax cheats try to drive down school budgets, the schools fail to work as well.
