Indeed. It brings to mind this quote:

If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much.
- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Amazing. She knows she's gypped her family and doesn't care. Very selfish.

Very good. I've been posting about this lately myself. My children (9 and 11) were in public school (not my choice, but life circumstances dictated it) and we all hated it.

I have a bunch of posts about the various aspects of government schooling, but the link below has my thoughts about how school is disruptive to family life. It has been about a month and a half since I posted that, and the deficiencies noted in that post have already been mostly ironed out. It amazes me how much more gets done in much less time when the children are not shut away in government indoctrination centres all day.

I am grateful that we don't have to do that anymore but also thankful for all the unintentional lessons we learned from the experience. I agree that there is no justification for sending children into such an environment.

Why don't you chuck the TV? I got rid of mine several years ago and no one misses it at all. Remember too, if you're paying for cable, you are funding the filth.

Also realise that the flicker rate of television screens puts most people into alpha brain waves (i.e. hypnotic) in about 3 minutes. Curiously, that is about the time I start to feel highly irritated if I find myself in front of a television. It's creepy. That is why I argue against "minimising" it. Would you ever consider "minimising" any other evil you allow over the threshold?

The creeping corruption is insidious and we become desensitised quickly. It is a relief to get rid of the appliances of Satan.
