“Schools are being forced to focus on what’s tested versus what’s important, and the civic soul of public education is being further eroded. To remedy this, education must include a very serious civic component … one that promotes adhering to a set of civic-minded values and acting upon those values … one that doesn’t just teach ‘civics,’ but strives to develop engaged citizens.”

One of the benefits of starting a non-public school is the opportunity to actually become a citizen and by that I mean someone involved in making change within their community. Please get involved in change!
