Reply #153: If you think you know what's wrong with your school system [View All]

[Lydia Leftcoast]

run for office yourself. Don't just sit around moaning and groaning about waste and inefficiency and stagnation and wishing you had vouchers so that YOUR kid (but not those others) could attend Fancy Shmancy Academy.

Don't you care about those other children, whose parents don't have the wherewithal--whether financially or emotionally--to send them to a good school?

If you don't, you ought to.

Think about it.

Your precious little perfect angels might graduate from Fancy Shmancy Academy and make it into an Ivy League school, but when they grow up, all those children who were left behind, because you and your friends cared ONLY about your own children, are going to be part of their adulthood.

So do you want your children surrounded by well-educated peers or ignorant peers when they grow up?

Besides, it looks as if you haven't been reading the other arguments.
