"The Cartel"

I certainly didn't need any extra convincing, but this documentary would have been enough by itself to make me an advocate for homeschooling.  If we are ever fortunate enough to have children, they will absolutely never be subjected to public schools.

In all fairness, I went to public school for 6th and 7th grades, and my teachers were actually effective.  But unless substantial changes are made soon, I won't take that chance again.
