Public School Prisons -— What Crimes Have Our Children Committed?
In his new book,"Public Schools, Public Menace," author Joel Turtel says that we have put our children into education prisons called public schools. Turtel also shows parents how to rescue their kids from public-school prisons with new, low-cost education options such as Internet private schools.
(PRWEB) July 26, 2005 -- Why have we put our children into educational
prisons called public schools? What crimes have they committed? Why do we
condemn almost 45 million innocent children to this punishment? Is it an
exaggeration to call these schools “prisons?”
These are questions author
Joel Turtel asks in his new book, "Public Schools, Public Menace: How Public
Schools Lie To Parents and Betray Our Children."
To prove his point,
Turtel compares prisons to public schools.
What are prisons? They are
places where people are locked up against their will for crimes they have
committed.
What is life like for a prisoner? The warden and prison
guards, in effect, take away the prisoner’s life and freedom. They force a
prisoner to live in a small cell he doesn’t want to live in, eat food he may
hate, work at a job he detests, associate with other prisoners who may be
dangerous, and remove him from everyone and everything he loved in the outside
world when he was free.
Like prisons, public schools impose their will
by force, by compulsion. Local governments force parents to send their children
to public schools just as the police drag convicted criminals into prison (even
though many parents are not aware of this and voluntarily send their kids to
these schools). A parent can be convicted of alleged child abuse and sent to
prison if she disobeys the school authority’s order to send her child to the
local public school.
Local governments then force parents to pay school
taxes for these education prisons. If they don’t pay these taxes, their local
government will foreclose on their home and throw them out on the
street.
School authorities force children to stay in school until they
are 16 years old or graduate high school (these age limits vary by state). In
effect, most children get a 10-year education prison sentence if they start
school at age six.
School authorities force millions of children to sit
in boxes called classrooms with 20 other children-inmates for six to eight hours
a day, five days a week, for 10 years. The children must obey the adult
education wardens (teachers and principals), who they may fear or dislike. They
must study subjects they may hate or that bore them to death. They must
associate only with other children their same age who may be bullies, violent,
or emotionally disturbed. They must do homework and study for tests they must
pass or be left back in school.
The children are removed from their
loving parents and put under the control of teacher-wardens who may not love
them, care for them, or simply even have the time to pay attention to them. They
are stopped from being a free and free-spirited child. They are told to keep
quiet. They are told to obey the rules. They are told to march from classroom
cell to classroom cell every 50 minutes to study different subjects that may
mean nothing to them.
Parents, if you don’t think this is harsh
punishment for your innocent children, you should ask yourself the following
question. When your spouse pressures you to attend some event you hate, whether
a ballet, lecture, or football game, how do you feel? After sitting at that
event for only an hour, how do you feel? You are probably angry, irritated, and
frustrated. You squirm in your seat or doze off. You can’t wait to get out of
there. You can’t wait to get back to your life and doing the things you love to
do.
Well, millions of kids must sit through this agony of boredom or
frustration for 6 to 8 hours a day for 10 years in public-school classrooms.
Yet, to repeat, what crimes have your children committed to warrant this
horrible punishment?
In fact, they have committed no crime whatsoever.
They are simply innocent victims of local governments and public-school
authorities who think they own your children, who think they have the right to
put your children into education prisons for 10 years for “their own good.”
Parents, if a rogue cop came and took your child to prison for no reason
whatsoever, except for saying it would be for your child’s “own good,” would you
not fight to the death to stop him? So why do you let school authorities take
your innocent children and punish them for 10 years?
Parents, if you
thought you had no choice, you are wrong. Happily, you can homeschool your child
or give your child a fun, quality, rewarding, low-cost education with Internet
private schools. You have many education options.
Turtel tells parents,
"If your child hates public school, listen to him or her. Don’t let school
authorities put your child in a public-school prison for 10 years. You have a
choice, and your child’s life is at stake."
Parents can find out about
new, low-cost education options for their kids in Joel Turtel’s book, "Public
Schools, Public Menace." Turtel asks parents to please take advantage of the
Resources in his book, for their children’s sake.
