Comments on: 10 public school “Signposts of Failure” http://libertarianrock.com/1999/05/10-public-school-signposts-of-failure/ Teenagers live in a totalitarian state. Mandatory schooling. Curfews. Prohibition. Libertarian Rockstars are fighting back.

I substitute teach and I have a unique view at our public school system as it is. A minimum of 60% of the time, I walk into a classroom with lesson plans that either took less than 5 minutes or do not exist. I see teachers that are union stooges, and choose to do right by the union rather than by their students. <br><br>I see students that are unmotivated and lazy. This is not the fault of teachers, but of parents that have failed to place a premium on the importance of education. Catholic schools are being shuttered due to cost, which is a real shame as they do succeed in far greater numbers with at risk students than our public schools do. Why are public schools sacred? If it doesn't work, find something that does. Really? I substitute teach and I have a unique view at our public school system as it is.
