First, I'm not a parent, so my opinions may be different than yours.
Second, I spent 11 years teaching in the community college system (read that as "public eduction").
There is an on-going argument around "home schooling". There are both pro and con discussions in the media. You can pretty much pick and choose to support or reject either "school" of thought.
So, this article is about the current attempts to legislate what parents are "allowed" to do with respect to their children's education.
No, I'm not trying to skate around the issue, but I have some strong opinions, based on my own eduction and the years I spent in "public education". Hence the reason I am posting this link.
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/02/17/homeschoolers-revolt-republican-school-choice-bill/What does this have to do with prepping, you ask? I assume you do ask, because it is relevant if you are a parent, and even if you are not.
Some questions to ask about the public school curriculum in your area:
1) Do they even mention prepping, either in a positive or negative context?
2) Will your children be subject to positive or negative "influence" if they mention that YOU are a prepper?
3) What kind of response do you expect from your public school system during a failing economy?
4) Worst case, during a crisis event (SHTF), how will your public schools system handle your children?
5) Do you know what plans are in place, in your public schools, to give you access to your children?
6) If you home school, what "hoops" do you jump through to deal with the education system in your state?
These are rhetorical questions and I
do not solicit a reply on this forum. I think that might cross the line of OPSEC (Operations Security) and is information you don't need made public.
