Can you support your claim with facts?<BR/><BR/>I watched the whole report, a full hour. John Stossel had many specific problems with the public school system. He details the problem public schools have in firing bad teachers. He has videos of how badly behaved students are in public schools. He reports the results of international tests which show that students in America are performing very poorly compared to students from other nations. <BR/><BR/>The Daily Howler report you linked to calls John Stossel a lot of names. But all the Daily Howler really does is show that the problems with public schools is a complex problem and John Stossel's one hour report only touched the surface.Henry Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097237237859928969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-1145630118557723552006-04-21T07:35:00.000-07:002006-04-21T07:35:00.000-07:00John Stossel's Stupid In America would get a faili...<A HREF="http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh011706.shtml" REL="nofollow">John Stossel's Stupid In America</A> would get a failing grade were he to submit it to a high school journalism teacher, for its unsupported claims.<BR/><BR/>There are problems within the public schools, and some parents are justified in homeschooling their kids. But we do need a public education system, because not every parent would make as good a teacher as the professionals. Unfortunately, Stossel's "identification" of problems is too vague to be worth anyone's consideration.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040332716326812603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-1145048816556953422006-04-14T14:06:00.000-07:002006-04-14T14:06:00.000-07:00Another member in the Stay Home Society.
