Public schools are not failing from lack of funding. They are

failing from lack of parental committment to the educational process.

When sports and student "self esteem" are a schools top priorities,

the parents are inevitably to blame.



A big part of the problem is the number of kids who do not have

functioning families.





A big part of the problem is teachers and districts that spend too much

time preaching and not enough time teaching, expecting the families and

kids to make up for it at home at night. It's not like it used to be,

our names are not all Cleaver, and a lot of kids don't have a mom or dad

at home at night to guide them. With the money and resources we give

them, they could do a lot more.


Say what... "we give them"??
You don't work or pay taxes... you "give them" nothing.
