The role of education in government and families

One of the biggest questions we have to ask ourselves when thinking of families and social policy is who should have the responsibility to educate our children?  We can see the need for the public school system. The parents who may be undereducated can have a resource in the teachers to help them, but somewhere in the 60's or 70's, parents began to think of the school as the primary educator rather than the family.

What are your thoughts about educating our children? What about public colleges and universities? If students don't graduate from high school with the necessary skills to be successful in college, do the colleges have a responsibility to do that for them?

Lots of questions and we are just getting started!
Have a great Christmas!
