Just a teachers thought...

Do you have homeschooling over there pete?

As a substitute teacher I do believe education is tucked away in some government vault .......and not left to the person - the teacher who is trained - to give the gift of learning anymore.

We have REAL homeschooling here and their marks are much higher than regular schooled youngsters.........

Go figure

Hi Pete, and welcome to FG!! I think a forum specifically for education is a great idea. We have several full-time and substitute teachers here, and I'm surprised one of them hasn't thought of this already. As a mom, my son's high school and upcoming college education is of high interest to me, too. Great idea!!
