Is your point that private schools exist?

My point is that we do know how to effectively educate our young. We have known for a few centuries, if not longer.

I think your point, such as it is, is spread rather thinly over a few short sentences peppering the responses. Why not just say what you mean more explicitly in a longer post so we can all read it and respond? Then instead of including a handful of cynical quips you can actually participate in a dialogue.

Of course, if you're more interested in looking intelligent than intelligent dialogue, keep doing what you're doing and dropping breadcrumbs instead of sharing knowledge.

I'm simply pressed for time. Thank you for taking the time for the ad hom! ;)

Any time!

Strange, the ignore list doesn't appear to work. (@mk)

Ignore will keep posts out of your feed, whereas mute will keep a person from commenting on your posts. Currently, we have no moderation effects on other people's posts. Hope that helps!

Got it. Thanks, mk.
