It is 2013, why is the public school curriculum not entirely on the internet already? No buses, schools and teachers unions to waste tax dollars. Just have a few testing centers in each state.

It's because there's more to school than just the three R's. Kids need to learn to socialize. They do that at school while they're learning the basics. They can't do that at home in front of a computer screen which I'm sure most kids already spend too much time in front of currently.
I have said this for many many years. Schools are against boys, ADD, ADHD are conditions typical of boys, yet now they are drugged.Actually they're symptoms of lead poisoning, which visibly affects boys more than girls
Teaching requires more than access to information. It requires presenting that information in context, and correcting mis-perceptions when they occur, as they invariably do.
As yet, effective AI does not exist.
Accessing a student's misperception requires intelligence.
This is why existing software can not do it.

We are mostly all born with the same equipmentWe are differing with brain capacity each other in the same way, like with size/capacity of any other organ.

Please refrain from sharing opinions based in such profound ignorance. I'm sure telling a 16 y/o inner city gang banger, to get online and learn some trig will be very effective. You know nothing of educators, students, or our education system in general.
It is not at all surprising that a psychopath like NumenTard doesn't see a need for children to learn how to socialize.
I never said that. Socializing is done by virtue of existing in a society, and they will do that in anycase. That's not what a physical school is for. That is just propaganda to fight home schooling.
They simply don't do studies on how the social atmosphere of schools are incredibly distracting, threatening, and stressful for some students and thus not conducive to learning most efficiently. Plus all the time and money wasted is absurd.
Rural kids sometimes only socialize with their peers at school. It's simply too far to be with other kids on a regular basis.
So with you're home school math you've determined that it will be far cheaper to have one parent [..] quit their job and stay home [..] opposed to hiring one teacher for every ~30 kids
I know the public education system is a failure. I know what personal accountability is and that it's not a factor in public schools, not for teachers unions nor students,... and that "inner city gang bangers" should NOT be determining how low to set the bar for everyone else.
