When I was in corporate America...It is remarkable. When I was in corporate America, that was grounds for firing. Seriously. When we bought our house in Memphis, I worked for UPS. The bank Fedex'ed the first set of documents. My boss informed me that I had to insist they use UPS or it would have dire consequences, and he wasn't joking (he had NO sense of humor). Yet our schools are not the same way. Could it be that the product is questionable?<br /><br />Slightly unrelated, except that it supports homeschooling, thought:<br /><br />I was in Kansas last week, went to the Cultural Center at Haskell Indian Nations University. It's an interesting place. One thing they highlight is the attempt by the US Government to eliminate the Native American cultures. How? Compulsory government run education. Going back to the the late 1800s, our government has been using mandatory government run schooling to try and eliminate cultures they don't like.<br /><br />Hmmm....and we wonder why they don't like homeschooling? Especially homeschooling Christians?Doug Hibbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01099486048716032843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-58243847384379678172009-04-28T14:49:00.000-07:002009-04-28T14:49:00.000-07:00A little odd isn't it!?!A little odd isn't it!?!The dB familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170331499885879774noreply@blogger.com
