BTW I agree Bob, they need an education. Not much use navigating if
they can not read a chart and do a bit of math.. Then again, we
need
someone to run the needle guns and flip burgers.


Have you turned into a moron lately, Joe? You say they need an
"education" as if an education was something you could actually
receive
in public schools.


Woooooowww now. Any parent IMO can provide a better education, and
aboard a boat traveling the world will be the best. But the parents
have to as you state teach the the three R's, or better yet home
school teaching all the required courses that they can get a diploma
and move on to higher education if they so desire.


Stop for a moment and think how public schools have
very little to do with education nowadays. They're all about a
bureaucracy whereby incompetent teachers and administrators make
large
salaries and do no educating. Rather, their jobs have become
indoctrinating young minds into the socialist agenda.


You failed to mention public shhools have become favorite shooting
grounds for the brain dead wackos.

Any children on a cruising yacht, with whom their parents spend two
hours a day teaching them the three R's, will be more highly educated
than the mind-numbed retards the public school system produces.



I agree 100% and hope the parents take the time and effort required.

And
combine that real education with the interaction they have with
different cultures and they will be far better human beings.


Indeed, the best education on earth, but in most cases not good
enough to land many rewarding careers. And unless the kids are super
smart and able to forge thier own path to success, not having a degree
will stymie them.

The only
problem I foresee is if the woman does all the teaching. The man
should
do the lion's share of it.


I think both could add value.



Good reply, I guess I missed the sarcasm you intended in your other
reply.
