        Dale,
   What happens if the 'child' and 'parent' choose NOT to spend time on
education?  What happens if that child chooses to simple wander and play and
never get a 'formal' education but a street education?  What happens to that
hungry mouth when s/he cannot support themself?  Ther may be more that
choose that option than you realize. Then what?
   I know there are weaknesses to the public system but what is its
replacement?  Freedom is great but the weakness to its success is KNOWLEDGE
and some don't choose to make choices...just to follow...and there are
numerous example of that in history.
   What is your solution to the waste of public education?
