To the editor:

I so appreciate columnist William Marvel. His reporting continues to expose the waste and incompetence in public education. Virtually every week he finds another example of how this bloated bureaucracy wastes our money but, more importantly, how it fails in its mission to educate our kids.

I have to laugh. Yes, by all means, let's have a bunch of people that don't have any training, or even a college education themselves, "teaching" their kids. While there are very specific situations I support home schooling, most people are completely unqualified to do so, and I pity the children of people like Mark, having people like him as their "teachers" would limit the scope of their knowledge and ability to think critically dramatically.
