And I did not really know what the Lord would show me, but as time went on, I began to get the picture much clearer. January 3rd, the year 2000, we break ground for that Healing Centre in Dallas Texas. [Ground-breaking has yet to take place.] It's going to have Healing Gardens with Healing Statues of Biblical Healing saints from the Old Testament. It's going to have a Healing Fountain an Eternal Healing Fire...

Homeschooling: ABC News - 20/20 : 'Stupid in America'
Posted on Thursday, February 09 @ 17:10:40 PST by Randall East

News Windpressor submitted: "Does the U.S. government's monopoly over public schools cheat kids out of a quality education? John Stossel takes a look in a special report. (ABC)

There are many factors that contribute to failure in school. A major factor, Stossel finds, is the government's monopoly over the school system. Parents don't get to choose where to send their children. In other countries, choice brings competition, and competition improves performance.

Stossel questions government officials, union leaders, parents and students and learns some surprising things about what's happening in U.S. schools. He also examines how the educational system can be improved upon and reports on innovative programs across the country.

The foregoing is excerpted from the ABC synopsis page at:

The 20/20 episode originally aired January 13, 2006.
The link page did have some other links that are now missing since posting here at PP (01/14/06).

For a little more detailed treatment check here:
John Stossel's 'Stupid in America'
[If you didn't get a full recording, there is a link for transcripts for $19.95 ea.]

For links to 3 video segments
Look for the titles below:
.

Educator proves
innovation, not federal money,
builds a great school.


.

Critics say teachers unions are
bad for American
schoolchildren.


.

John Stossel and "20/20" look
at the failings of the U.S.
educational system.


The video feeds should still be available but may require flash settings and broad band for best results.
