Joanne Jacobs, in ‘We don’t need no education, says,’ “If this nation is going to spend billions of dollars on public schooling, surely we want more than day-care centers with breakfast, lunch, snacks, and copies of Anti-Racist Baby.”
And, if children can learn just as well without school, let’s give those billions to parents or back to the taxpayers. “No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher’s dirty looks! School’s out forever.” It seems odd to me that a specialist in “literacy education” doesn’t value reading, a skill that some children need to be explicitly taught. Even more children will not learn math without being taught. Of course, some parents can teach math, hire a tutor or pay tuition at a private school that’s open for in-person learning. Is it OK to write off the other kids?
