Can someone inform me on this. I know he has a book coming out later this year.

(Obviously private schooling is better...and I can even understand home schooling. Letting kids/adults think outside the box etc. But its more expensive, leading to only the rich, higher class being able to afford private schooling)

I kinda like that Ron Paul is on this issue. And will probably spend the next few years covering this.

Kinda awkward talking about this to a public school professor right? lol is he insulting public teachers? Confused O_o

We'll find out more details but he generally thinks the private market is much more efficient and superior but states have a right to vote in what they want (not federal) but he thinks it homeschooling or taking control of your child's curriculum is vital.

He thinks it is lousy quality generally, and not responsive, and too tempting for politicians to insert their goals, over the family's views, for the children, as well.

He has for a long time had suggestions on curriculum.

The Ron Paul 2012 page shared it, then I did :)

What do you think about that facebook page?

It is a good thing pages like that exist. Parents should always challenge education and make sure it is good enough.
