Parents, what if your local public school is a menace to your child’s mind, education, and future? What if public schools are hopelessly beyond repair and simply cannot give your children the education they need and deserve?
Do you have children who do poorly in school or are bored or frustrated with school? In contrast to what most public-school officials will tell you, in most cases the problem lies with the schools, not with your children. It turns out that millions of children, including yours, have good reasons to hate public school, reasons that you as a parent should not ignore.
In his hard-hitting new book, "Public Schools, Public Menace: How Public Schools Lie To Parents and Betray Our Children," Joel Turtel argues that public schools have become so dangerous and such a waste of time for America’s children, that parents should vote with their feet and look elsewhere to educate their kids.
In "Public Schools, Public Menace," the author reveals:
* how public schools deceive parents into thinking their kids are doing well in school by using dumbed-down tests, textbooks, and grading systems
* how public schools cripple children's ability to read and destroy their love of learning
* why over four million school children a day take mind-altering drugs like Ritalin
* why desperate minority parents should not pin their hopes on vouchers, charter schools, or the No Child Left Behind Act
* how these schools indoctrinate our children with anti-parent, anti-American, and anti-Judeo-Christian values
* 22 ways parents can home-school their children, even if they work
Turtel explains why parents should think seriously about taking their children out of public school, permanently. Children don’t have to suffer through 12 years of a mind-numbing, third-rate public-school education. "Public Schools, Public Menace" explores and gives a detailed Resource list of many quality, low-cost education alternatives that parents can take advantage of right now, from accredited Internet schools and computer learning software to inexpensive learn-to-read and learn-math books and home-schooling.
He also shows parents how home-schooling can be a lot easier, less costly, and less time-consuming than they might think.
Joel Turtel is an education policy analyst and author of "The Welfare State: No Mercy For the Middle Class. He lives in New York State."

A True Gem
By Jennie Xue
Public Schools, Public Menace by Joel Turtel is a gem. Written from an educational policy analyst's perspective, this book opens the readers' eyes of how the current public school system deceives parents, cripples the students' reading ability and drugs behavior-challenged students by justifying their actions with the so-called various psychiatric disorders.
Divided into two parts and nine long chapters, this book is more than an advanced analytical piece. It is a guidebook for all parents and educators who place the students' interest above their own. It also includes 22 danger signals from children, which can be easily spotted among today's students.
In the second part, Turtel provides realistic solution to concerned parents in providing a great, low-cost education without being chained in the public school system. He includes a long list of high-quality respectable resources that would help parents achieve this goal.
Contrary to popular belief, American public school system is not the best in the world. Author Joel Turtel showed it to us courageously, so we can make the necessary changes and improvements.[]

This book is hard-hitting and packs a punch
By Christian Book Previews
Author Joel Turtel thoroughly educates readers about the condition of public schools in this country. This book is hard-hitting and packs a punch. Yet, the author has been careful to research his facts, and includes extensive footnotes and a bibliography.
Educating our nation's children is everyone's concern. Future leaders are sitting in classrooms today, and it's imperative that they receive a quality education. However, a close inspection of our schools reveals a disturbing and sometimes diabolical condition. From curriculum to corrective measures, the author clearly shows that the nation's education system is not deserving of a passing grade.
This book is divided into two parts, with the first section dealing with the abuses found in today's classrooms. Each chapter slowly and systematically sorts through the facts and fallacies, until readers get a true sense of the education system. The author backs up his opinions with solid statistics, as well as by personal accounts of parents, teachers, and students.
Although all of this information may alternately discourage or enrage readers, the author uses the last section of the book to give clear and practical options for educating children. Home schooling and Internet schools are explored with the same meticulous research that went into the first half of the book. Web sites and teaching materials are listed and critiqued. If anyone is seriously considering either of these educational options, the material presented here will provide a solid introduction.
The author unequivocally equips readers to understand and evaluate the education system, so they can make wise decisions about their children's futures. This reviewer applauds the time and effort it took to bring this book to publication. Most interesting was the idea of education entering a free market system. In fact, the author, who is an education policy analyst, makes several comprehensive suggestions. These pages will certainly open up readers' minds to daring new ideas.
This book gets top grades from this reviewer! -- Joyce Handzo, Christian Book Previews.com

Misconceptions
By Mother of Eight
It's ridiculous to think that this book or any others that criticize public schooling are saying that all people working and teaching in the system are bad. Everyone knows there are terrific, dedicated people working in the schools, indeed most of us know some people like that, but they are often hindered by the system and the rules. It's a perfectly legitimate question for discussion whether the 'system' is good, bad, broken, fixable, or should be abolished. John Taylor Gatto is one of those dedicated teachers who greatly deserved the teacher of the year awards he was given, and HE says public schools should be abolished. Indeed, he had success because he didn't conform and do what the 'system' said to.
I am a homeschooling mom of 8 who names all her kids after Bible names, but my main goal is a good education for my kids. With many American parents not sufficiently involved in their kids' lives, homeschooling is an awesome social trend that can only benefit the average family. I'm sure at least one of my kids didn't know much about the civil war at 12, but it's loving to learn, and having the tools of learning that counts. The 3 oldest have gone to college at 16 and done fine, and have been astounded at how much less history is known by the publicly- educated kids in their college classes. I was valedictorian from a private Christian school after attending public school as well, and now have been homeschooling and studying education for 20 years and am quite familiar with the issues and the lack of truly quality education in most public and private schools due to today's weak standards and time- wasting methods. If it's true that standardized tests with all their inherent faults are being dumbed down, how can it be exciting if test scores are up slightly? It just means the tests are easier and /or more kids are doing test prep. Yes some kids are learning much more math, but many are made to feel like failures and have no time to pursue their strengths, and all that math will help them little if they do not go into a math field and don't know enough history to be good citizens.
I have worked with people who are completely brainwashed with the liberal philosophy of government. They just look at you dazed and have no earthly idea why they believe what they do about political issues. They are not thinking liberals who came to their conclusions by thoughtful reasoning, they are statist parrots who have no idea why they think policy X is good and can't conceive of someone having an argument against it. If they had made up their own mind about things, you could have a real conversation with them about it, but they can't defend their ideas, they just assume the whole world agrees with them. Their public schools did not teach them logic, philosophy, how to debate, the constitution, or even the reasoning for their liberal views. That is what scares me. My kids know to test what they believe, how to defend their beliefs, and that truth is knowable and discoverable, and not different for every person.
Thank goodness we promote education for everyone now, including women and blacks, etc, but it is still legitimate to look at colonial education in terms of how well they managed to teach the ones they did choose to educate, compared to how well we do. If the public system does not usually have success with inner city kids and John Taylor Gatto does by ignoring the 'rules and proper methods of education' then maybe we should ignore them too. And regardless of how many wonderful Christians are in the public schools, there is much hostility toward Christianity in the school system. Court cases, NEA, ACLU, the absolute fits thrown if evolutionary assumptions are criticized, students forbidden to exercize their religion, etc. Christians suffer under a multitude of restrictions about what they can say and do while free sex is normalized and eastern meditation is actively taught and promoted. I personally was made fun of by the teachers in elementary public school 30+ years ago for bringing my Bible to school. It was something I wanted to do because of my own faith, not something I was told to do by parents or anyone else. Why did they think it was ok to ridicule a 5th grader about her Bible, when they were not nasty in general?
Many thinking people are totally for learning for everyone, but believe the public schools are more of a problem than a solution. It's a legitimate position that should be argued out. It's not good enough that a monolithic, mind-bogglingly expensive, government- controlled institution that is raising our kids for us does have some success sometimes. The question to ask is, Is it actually good for people? (I don't think any giant institutions ever are, whether religious, business, charitable, medical, educational, or governmental. They are all dehumanizing.) Are the successes truly because of the system or in spite of it? Are there any better and less expensive alternatives? Yes, private schools, charter schools,one room schools, internet classes, formal and informal tutoring-- whether by a trained teacher or anyone with knowledge to share. All run by the teachers and overseen by parents or guardians, and the learners themselves, not the government or the 'experts.' It would be great if all those truly wonderful teachers would quit and start small schools or tutoring businesses of their own instead of supporting the public school system. Local governments could give out vouchers for people below a certain income that were useable for any school or class including college, if we want to support education with tax money. It would be up to each parent and student to vote with their money for the good schools or teacher.
We should look at the big picture here and argue that, not just some of the details. And remember that questioning methods and institutions is not the same as indicting the motives of all the people involved. Even a failing teacher may be there because she cares about kids. But her love cannot change a damaging system that she has no contol over.
