Kids, just because I don't care doesn't mean I'm not listening.

Now, I've heard everything . . .
A few months ago, I heard a remark about public schools to the effect that a parent's rights regarding their child ends at the school door. Today, they reported on a school in Chicago that bans homemade lunches! That's right, you cannot send a lunch from home to your child. The administrators claim that they have a more nutritious menu. A report noticed children leaving the lunch room and dumping most of the 'wonderful' mass-made lunches.
It seems that the government is constantly finding ways and means of invading our homes and lifestyles. No matter how they phrase it, forbidding a homemade sandwich to enter the portals of the school yard is an invasion of privacy and an attack on the home. It is like saying that, 'sure you bore and raised the child but now an informed person will take over' . . . If the world doesn't wake up soon, I can only shudder to think what the government will take over next.
Makes me glad I home schooled my children. They also went to private colleges which, yes, cost a bit more but the scholarships were good and they teach not take over a student's mind.

I can relate to the third one!
