Dear ML,
Then why not support giving the poor vouchers that will allow them to attend private schools? Are you afraid of the results that might be achieved?
Face it, the status quo of tossing additional dollars to public education has not ,nor will it ever work.
The true fact of education is that until parents are able to listen to their children read, and run through the multiplication tables at night for endless hours upon hours, children will be drifting in the wind.
Liberalism has brought us the household in which both parents work. One has to pay the bills and one to pay the taxes.
Until we give true tax relief to the parents of households with children regardless of income, this problem will continue to fester.
Until we give parents a "choice" in the education of their children, schools will not have to compete for federal dollars.
Now ML, this post will be double posted which will ,through no fault of my own, be l be hidden.
You will note, that there are no insults here, just my basic beliefs and those of many like minded Americans. The public educational system has failed us and our children. Perhaps it is time to try something different.
