Education in America Part IV: The Solution

According to Kyle Olson, founder and CEO of the Education Action Group and co-author of Conform, “there is a secular progressive value set in public schools. And so when that sort of value set is in charge, there is no morality. There is no right or wrong. Everything is gray.”

The only answer to reversing this 180 degree transformation is parent awareness and involvement. Parents can no longer yield their children’s education to the government. They must be the ones in charge. That means finding alternatives to public school like homeschooling, charter schools or private schools, whenever possible. For the majority, though, it means increased involvement in their children’s public schooling.

I agree. It is up to parents to ensure their children have a decent education. The parents should research thoroughly charter schools or private schools to see if the schools fit their values. The parents shouldn’t completely trust the public educational system either.
