see, I like that video, but it doesn't address the guy's points above..... usually I'd just ask my guy here at home, but he's busy today.... :)

discussing this on facebook, but I need to be fed foreign policy w/ a firehose like Sarah Palin, lol. I knw that Ron Paul always has a deeper answer than what most people hear, but i can only read so fast, ya know? here's the points brought up. If y'all can help craft a reply, that would be...

I think it would be an easy argument to make. :) But only after we've cleaned out the problems with our election fraud, monetary system, and dumped welfare/ IRS/ FED/ UN.

Newt's Red Card plan--- p 25/26 [Private sector Role] : Newt's plan relies on Mexico cooperating fully. and accurately. :) http://krieble.org/Websites/krieble/Images/files/Red%20Card%20Solution%20White%20Paper.pdf

dittos. I do have a problem with NOT referring to a 'generous visitor work program' as a form of AMNESTY. :-/ Can someone help explain Ron Paul's 'seemingly conflicting' stances on illegal immigration [wrt Tancredo]? Also-- I found it interesting that Newt's Red Card papers note that it...

This is one issue that i hafta disagree with RP on: I've seen firsthand the political engineering that goes on with 'term limits'-- the incumbents and establishment simply have a handpicked person that they wrangle support for, and you're back to The System. Term limits undermine the will of...

ain't that the truth?!!? on another note though.... anyone who "forgets" that they are carrying a gun in their vehicle probably deserves the zero tolerance policy.... I have zero tolerance for irresponsible BS......

if the grant was coming from a free market enterprise, that's exactly the reason I would have listed. ;) but alas, the grant is from the gvt, and must be implemented according to gvt specs..... so I'm going for the most dramatic gvt conclusion, lol. besides, my li'l bro is currently in...

a couple things: 1. I agree-- it was a voluntary thing that they took on, not quite 'mandated'. The Mansfield ISD site is a bit more revealing: http://www.mansfieldisd.org/departments/communications/news/10-11/february/arabicgrant.htm 2. I doubt they'd be able to just "give back" the money--...

I agree with both of you, lol: the system is flawed even w/ great teachers AND involved parents, and stupid parents will flaw ANY educational system. ;)

I recommend you read the book 'Best Friends Worst Enemies: understanding the social lives of children' before making a final decision. We homeschool primarily *because of* the rampant negative socialization that you'll find even at private schools: they essentially have daycare rules they have...

moostraks hits the nail on the head: the vicious circle that would entail in a parent choosing to teach in school *instead of* teaching their own kids is logically insane. While some teachers have spouses that homeschool [thus fulfilling the best of both worlds from your insinuated perspective]...

{whispering} we see that in some homeschool families too. ;)

Kludge-- I can appreciate the people who feel called to enter the public education system as instructors, but as a mom of 5 my first priority is to MY kids. I have found the best instructional books for critical thinking/ logic via homeschool curriculum: homeschoolers certainly do *get it* --...

Theocrat-- good points. I read a succinct quote from a dad once: "I sent my bright, inspiring 5yo to school and got back a dull average child." and yes: good social skills aren't "caught" by being involved, they are TAUGHT by being *instructed*. true Socialization skills are rarely TAUGHT at...
