I think that the United States has gone too far with being politically correct. I feel that America's public education system is beyond repair. Funds that are meant for education get allocated to administration. My first child went through the public school system and took all AP classes starting with the summer before High School actually started. She took physical education on line so as not to mar her grade point average with sub-AP classes and had some exceptional teachers. Her AP classes and extracurricular activities ended up costing us about nine thousand dollars a year. Thirty tenured teachers quit from that school after my daughter left so we decided to put my son into a private school costing fifteen thousand a year. European children continually outscore American children and has always had considerably better educational facilities at lower costs. My children are giving serious thought to working abroad for eight months of the year when they have children so that they can expose their children to good education.

How can you take a gym class online?

I think it should be taught to an extent, it should go hand in hand with anti bullying. But I believe everyone deserves their own opinion and should be able to speak their mind. Just in a nice way.

So if you get arrested why does a policeman say,anything you say can be held against you?

You can say what ever you want to.  But what you say will be used in court.  SO if you get pulled over for speeding and you admit you have been drinking and have drugs and a bunch of other stuff those statements will be used in court.  Not a hard concept to understand.  They are not telling you that you cannot speak.

In HS we only had to take 1 year of PE and could take it any year we wanted to.  I didn't know that in home schooling PE was required.
