Maybe I misunderstood your post then. I thought you were talking about the party invitations.
Our education system has dumbed down our youth. It used to be that kids in grade school would learn what today's college level students would learn. Now we have kids who can't even read or write, let alone spell graduating from schools.
It has been shown through studies that homeschoolers perform 15-30 percentile points above public school students on standardized achievement tests. (Public school average is the 50 percentile.)

You should do your homework before making such statements as you did.
Geraldo Rivera? You mean Horrendo Revolta?

That research was not based on representative samples, was carried or by a home school advocacy organisation, and doesn't correct for background differences like socioeconomic background or marital status. How can you trust research that gets its data by advertising for home school parents to sends in their results to show how good home schooling is? Of course the stable middle class families are going to do better the the working class urban kids in the public school. But that doesn't tell you that YOUR loss will do better when homeschooled.
You should read research before posting the summaries pushed by advocates.
Yes, if you match kids by socioeconomic factors, and remove the sort of special ed kids that private schools don't (and shouldn't) take, the difference goes away or even reverses.
That being said, there are many truly excellent private schools, which do a great job of education. And there are many, many private schools that are appallingly deficient.
Usually but not always, it's money that matters. And great leadership at the top.

Yes, that's very true. I currently work for a private Christian school (a school in the old British 'public school' tradition), which I enjoy very much. It is a nice change from the state schools which suffer from every change in government minister with new policies.
That kind of thinking is why there are so many snowflakes.
They never learned these life skills:
1) Suck it up
2) The world isnt all about you
3) The world doesnt care that youre disapointed or have your feelings hurt if you arent number one.

If your answer as to why a parent would purposely choose to hurt a child's feeling was in your post somewhere, I must have missed it.
That being said: We are in the age of Donald Trump where encouraging words aren't spoken to anyone.

Where did i say anything about trump, hint i didnt. I said kids need to learn suck it up, before they become snowflakes, which means its ok that they arent number one all the time.
Liberals like you, want little clones, instead of kids, no room for you all to see individuals. You all want the Borg.

Exactly.....he melts every time he posts.
Why does God discipline people? Why does He want to "hurt" their feelings?
How does discipline relate to the context of this thread?
It doesn't. Intentionally hurting other children's feelings is never a form of discipline, but rather a form of abuse from one child to another. Parent's should never encourage this type of behavior.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with using good manners when distributing party invitations.

Anywhere? Really?
Come on, that's not what school is for. The kid can call his friends. His parents can teach him to address envelopes and how to mail invitations. He can even go to his friends' houses in person and invite his friends.
He doesn't need to use class time to hand out invitations.
Do you see what this is doing?
It's telling little children that they are bad if they [now pay close attention] invite a friend at school to their happy birthday party [let that sink in real good].
Why on earth would you allow anyone to demonize little children for that ?
Why would you give in to that kind of insanity?
