And correct spelling is apparently not at all a priority.

Do not expect too many Nobel prizes in physics for people from Georgia.

Tsssk. God wants us to learn, can't they see that? If they want people to take them seriously, they need to improve their language skills. I'm willing to help :D

Atlanta is a major center of biomedical research. The entire state is not composed of complete morons.

Georgia the state or Georgia the country? (That probably isn't important to anyone but me, LOL, but hey) The sign's in English so I assume it's the state.

Anyway, can you imagine:
"Sir, may I be excused from PE? God visited me in a dream last night and said I can sit out for this lesson."
"Of course, who are we to question His plan?"
:P

That is true and most of their top researchers were educated elsewhere.

Public School is the ruination of the intellect.

I agree, but Mattshizzle indicated that this was a homeschool athletic league.

So much the worse for Georgia. Parents destroy their own children's minds in Georgia. That is sad.

Public school isn't the problem - without it a good number of people couldn't afford education at all - and as mentioned this was for homeschooling. The problem is ignorant people voting other ignorant people on to school boards - and lack of standards for homeschooling - some private schools have horrible science education too. Also, private aren't necessarily better - remember they get to choose who attends - and only kids with succesful parents can generally afford private schools. Public schools have to take any student who lives in the district.

Christianity is the foundation of many homeschool curriculums on the market.

Wait wait! Can't you see? They want the students to " ace de mics! :P Means they're encouraging them to sing? Haha ^^;

Sorry randomness. But yeah....i went to both public and private school, i can safely say that private schools have more higher standards, you feel sort of stressed -.- it's unbearable, and then there's the matter of the other students who can develop a "snobbish" kind of behavior, ego trip ftl. I rather prefer public school, especially since it's quite good here in Canada, compared to the Us ^.- i really pity you guys. You have some very good universities, but anything down below kind of falls behind... =/ that's my general take on your education system, take it with a grain of salt ^^; .

It really depends on where you live...certainly not the best where I am at the moment, but education being a priority in the home also makes a big difference. Otherwise, it really does not matter how good the school.

Sorry, I know better than to use the word 'you'. Other people mess me up with that one all the time, so I do try to avoid it. It depends on where one lives in the US as to the quality of schools.
