Unfortunately it does interfere with the programs tho. If you can't
get 20% minority participation, you can't have the program.
They are trying to fix the problem Harry was talking about, the lack
of parental participation, with a quota system and a big yellow bus.



Well, there's always a trade off isn't there.


Unfortunately the trade off is the quality of the education for most
of the children to meet some obsolete goal set in the 60s for a
problem that no longer exists.
Nobody can complain that the school system is sparing a penny on any
student here. They spend over $17,000 each


No. It's got nothing to do with "most" childen. There are perhaps a few who
are adversely affected. The vast majority are suffering from the lack of
quality education because of other issues. For one thing, the underfunding
of No Child Left Behind.
