Lots of home schooling in Alaska and thr home schooled score in the top 1 to 2% in the country

Home schooling seems to be good or not so good depending on what the approved curriculum is and what the actual expectations are. I know people in northern New England who have embraced Ben Hewitt's philosophy of "unschooling" from his book HOME GROWN and have had more poor outcomes than good ones for a lot of the same reasons that Dutch cited in his post. Some parents are competent teachers and will hold their kids to a high standard, but most don't seem to have the will to do what is right, but not necessarily easy. Tough love is tough, but often not easy.

Agreed

When the AFL (American Federation of Labor) and the CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations) combined ,(1930's ?) to make the AFL-CIO, they elected George Meany as it's first president.
George Meany and FDR (d) both agreed that union had no place in the public sector.

JFK (d) signed a bill into law that allowed government employees to unionize.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
It is appropriate in the private sector, where workers bargain with private, profit-making corporations, NOT the tax paying citizenry - and where market forces provide an independent check on both sides demands.
In the public sector, however, it means higher cost, lower efficiency and, worst of all, less democracy.

Executive Order 10988 is a United States presidential executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy on January 17, 1962 that granted federal employees the right to collective bargaining. This executive order was a breakthrough for public sector workers, who were not protected under the 1935 Wagner Act.

that sounds like a lot of government schooled kids i have had to work with in factories for the past 35 years

Well, being in a government union is equal to pisssing up a rope. It's against federal law to strike which I believe is unconstitutional. Just ask the air traffic controllers when they struck and that S.O,B, Ronnie Raygun fired them en mass. Without the ability to strike, a union is rather powerless. I was the shop steward for my office for 20 years and I handled gripes and serious grievances on a regular basis. A few went from the office to the regional office. Of the many times I had to get involved, I only lost one. I had the time in so I could bail anytime, and that's what I did. We had a new boss that was a Phd and he thought that anyone that did not have a degree was worthless. I kind of kept up with things after leaving and he literally drove every non-degreed employee into early retirement. Kind of sorry I didn't stick around. I believe I could have made life quite miserable for that POS.

If any SOB ever made my life miserable, it was a POS local chairman.
Sold the entire craft down the river. Company bought them off....nation wide!

Agreed, and in some states they can’t generate collective bargaining(NC and SC being a couple).

Edited to note that this only applies to state/local government employees. I think the fed employees still can form unions for collective bargaining
