According to Santorum we should get rid of public schools and everyone should be taught at home. He says that schools are basically factories, and that they shouldn't be run by the government. Personally, I think that's rather stupid.
If you consider all the drawbacks of an arrangement such as this, you'll note how horrible it would be. When you are home schooled you're taught by your parents, but what if your parents aren't well educated you won't be either.
Another thing Santorum said about home schooling was that the children would grow up with the same beliefs that their parents had. Imagine if this was applied to Civil War times. If we did this then no one would ever adapt to the fact that all people are created equal no matter what color their skin.
I can't imagine it would be very interesting if all children ended up as carbon copies of their parents in their beliefs. It's a foolish idea, and I can't imagine it working well.
