You'd think so, but nothing is really free.
The christian schools that I'm familiar with pay their teachers little in comparison with public schools. Tuition is high and parents usually expect a higher academic standard.
Public schools are not free. I have no children, but had to pay over two thousand dollars this year for services that I do not use and for other people's children to be taught contrary to the Bible on every subject where it applies. The state religion, paid by me due to forced extortion, is evolutionism. There are exceptional Christian teachers that are in the gt system, as are other public servants. The problem is that, that is not the norm.
The problem is that believers are forced to pay for heathens' children to be taught heathen religion. It is very expensive.
so why just not pay your taxes or move to a different tax free country. ? Become a refugee. It sounds like your country is extremely oppressive and totalitarian.

I heard the private schools move their money to the cayman islands or some other tax shelter.
Also, if you register your business in Delaware, apparently you dont have to pay US taxes.

The Queen never paid any tax, and her children went to public schools. Its confusing. The she had to start paying when her castle burned down. Actually the entire british monarchy is funded by the taxpayer. It has always been that way, despite the fact that not everyone uses their palaces.

Kings Solomons kindgom fell or was divided because of the crippling taxes he imposed on everyone to pay for his lavish harem and temple.

I dont think many people even went to school back in the day.

Jesus started his own school with 12 students at first, then it became huge. He had his biggest lecture on the mount cos he was kicked out of the synagogue. He taught stuff like how to pray and lay hands on people and heal etc. It was free, but you had to give your whole life in exchange.

nope.....
in the US public schools are not "free".
It's our tax dollars (not) at work that funds public schools.
i know, make school not compulsory and user pays you can go only if you can afford it. There will be less schools and all the children can stay at home. solution?

Ive been looking at private school, fees for a year and its like 20k a year.

If you dont want to pay taxes for something you wont use because you dont have children, then just have a job that doesnt pay much and live in an Rv, that way you dont have to pay land taxes.

It was very free, but like every other country, that changes with time. There are south and central AM countries fleeing across the border in one direction for some reason. Even the northern border has an influx of immigrants and illegals now. I live in one of the freer states and the socialist states have a lot of people who want to retire here. Californians can't retire in the state they ruined with socialism, so they move here to be able to afford the lower property taxes while changing politics to reflect California.
You either pay rent for an apartment to a company or "own" property and pay yearly rent to the state gts who claimed everything to belong to them. Those who can't pay the excessive property taxes on time every year have it stolen and sold by the states. They have no problem leaving families and widows homeless.

Send your children to a christian school or teach them yourself about the birds and the bees.

If they do get taught anything with LGBTQ content, train them to recongnise it for what it is. Its usually done in a special health class it wouldnt be taught all the time. Usually year 6 girls have a 'girls talk' and the boys go off to have a boys talk, though the boys might be a bit older. But they get told how to handle their bodies with hygiene etc.

Girls need to deal with periods from as young as 9. They need to know what their bodies are going through! If not it will be scary for them.

Dont just give them a pad or tampon and expect them to know how to use it.
Do they teach the boys how to use pads now, too?

My parents made me go to a Christian School for one year and I hated it because it felt like being in prison. They let me go back to public school after I begged them to let me go back

I dont know
Youd have to go to one and find out. At least they would know what they are for, cos girls were taught how to use condoms. Or at least what they were for.

Girls these days are not using wasteful plastic pads. They are using moon cups or washable undies or tampons.

these days though condoms are not the things they common things were on the 90s. It was mostly gay men that used those if they were being 'safe'

As far as I know, doctors are now saying use IUDs or patches for girls if they dont want to fall pregnant, but that doesnt necessarily stop STDs. But schools dont give medical advice. The school nurses arent there to treat students, mostly they would give students a panadol and tell them to go back to class. Or an icepack.

If I were principal of a school for health class Id probably take students to a hospital or get doctors and. nurses and paramedics to come in and have a talk about youth health with them because school teachers, although they do their best, wont know everything about the subject.

For year 6s girls and boys have separate talks about hygiene. Being the librarian I just provided books on the topic for thos who wanted to find out more. Some children cant handle it but others were curious. Children grow at different rates some are early bloomers and some are late bloomers, but you do want to catch those who are growing up earlier than others because they often dont know how to handle their bodies, they can be as young as 9 and looking like a woman, menstuating etc.

Another thing is because of so much JUNK food these days that has hormones in it, especially meat, boys are developing man boobs.

For most teachers in public schools it was assumed that parents would talk to their own children about birds and the bees, but it was found that many parents were far too busy for this and so thats why theyve incorporated it into the curriculum but it would only be like a few sessions and it would not cover everything. It really is a gamble of who they get to talk about it.

It would only cover the physical aspects of bodies and not the moral or ethical aspects of it. This is up to the parents, unless the school is a christian based school teaching values (which some public schools actually are) where they would teach respect I would guess.

One has to realise that children from all different backgrounds go to school, not everyone has a two parent functioning family and school does take it upon themselves to teach thing sthat dont get taught at home. Not all teachers are happy to do this but they have to because these children really dont know anything - their parents are absent - dead, divorced or ill.

If it comes from eating beef, they can call them moobs.

That's ok. Even we Americans are taught that the states are like counties of a single monolithic capitol with a dictator at the head we call a president. That's how it often works too.
The united States was intended by the ratifiers of the federal as well as the state constitutions to be a kind of unified collection of what are called nation states in other parts of the world. It had an extremely weak federal gt which was subservient to the states. Each landowner was considered a king of his land. Following the civil war, the northern states, coopted by the federal conquered the southern states and changed the structure eventually to a corporate body. Now each segment of the states are not truly autonomous, but rather clones of the others in as far as structure and most legal codes (so called laws). The differences are usually in quantity of taxes. Land ownership is no longer run by the kings. They were conquered and coopted so that the public servants now rule over the kings. The exact extortion payments of varying amounts from the "owners" at purchase and again and again every year.

My state is of a lower cost to live on our lands and homes than many, but it is still very expensive. People figure out where they want to retire because they will run out of money and become homeless after exhausting their decades of life savings.
It touches a nerve with me somewhat because I've worked with people who ended up this way. James 1:27 It hurts to see them forced to signed everything their previous generations owned, they worked their entire lives to earn.....over to the state, only to be institutionalized.

You asked valid questions. I wish there were answers as easy as living in an RV. Even they have to pay rent for a lot and utilities. There's much cost for repairs and fuel too. I'm not against anyone doing that, because many people enjoy traveling or living in a tiny house. I just don't want that lifestyle.

I see that New Zealand is going through some changes now, hopefully for the better.

North Korean defector shocked at what she learned at 'woke' Ivy League school: 'Brainwashing'

https://www.foxnews.com/media/north...d-learned-woke-ivy-league-school-brainwashing

A North Korean defector issued a stark warning Monday on "woke" ideology in American classrooms, believing the U.S. could "absolutely" be headed down the path of her home rogue regime if it doesn't reverse course.

Author Yeonmi Park joined "Fox & Friends First" to discuss the parallels between far-left indoctrination within her Ivy League education at Columbia University and "brainwashing" in North Korea.

"The things that I was learning at Columbia University really shocked me because it was the exact same thing that my North Korean teachers were brainwashing me in the classroom," Park told Todd Piro. "At Columbia University they were literally saying that all the problems that we have is because of capitalism, because of white men, and the solution for all these problems is a communist revolution in the name of equity."
