Oh poopies <g>  I didn't see that part.  The "caring" parent is a product of 
the same system, so how would they recognize it as anything but what should 
be.  We are talking several generations of indoctrinization.

Might I suggest that folks who are truely interested in this thread read 
John Taylor Gatto's essays and books on this subject:

How Public Education Cripples Our Kids and Why
http://www.spinninglobe.net/againstschool.htm

This one is about the book "Dumbing Us Down:  The Hidden Curriculum of 
Complusory Schooling"
http://www.spinninglobe.net/dumbing.htm

This is about his book "The Underground History of American Education"
