5. I've been 'concerned' about public education for many years.

Most of my education was in public schools, all the way through college. (Law school wasn't 'public.) Unfortunately by the time my daughters were ready for school, 'public' was not feasible. We spent a fair amount on 'private' and parochial schools.

My younger daughter, who studied Child Development & Family Studies-Preschool & Special Education, and who is a great natural teacher, now 28 years old with a 2 year old son, has concluded she'll teach him at home. What happens in 'classrooms' isn't suitable, she says.

This foxx person is too radically right for me. I guess the repugs like her.
