No kidding. I agree. I often helped my kids study. If I asked them to think something through or a question that wasn't directly parroted from their study guides they would want to move on. It wasn't necessary to know, just to regurgitate the givens. I tried to get them to think but it was a losing battle. Already as a parent I had lost authority to the education system.

Anyone who now surveys the educational landscape has to conclude that there are only 2 options: home school or find a religious day school that aggressively teaches a classical curriculum. State schools are nothing more than brainwashing camps. All universities are a complete waste of money, time and will intellectually neuter your child. All higher education and careers must be found in the alternative venues.
