this is no cop out, part of it is the child's responsability to keep focused, part of it is the parents' responsabilities to keep their kids focused, but that doesnt change the fact that public schools just dont CARE.

this is a three way deal, not just a cop out.

the private schools are smaller in class size, and have better equipment and supplies, whereas the public school are CRAMMED full of kids with barely adequate equipment and supplies.


maybe funding isnt the pronlem, maybe we just need sky scrapers for schools.
Your right, smaller class sizes do help out tramendously. Your also correct about the schools not caring, it's all about
making money for them. The answer: pull government funding.

Now I know this sounds drastic, but if the parents
held the teachers, schools and administrators reponsable for the job they do or don't do well they would be forced to
raise the bar and alot of things would change for the positive.

Your probably wondering how pulling government funding would solve this. You see if parents had to fund thier childs education by writing a check every month rather than having the government pull it out of your pay check, property tax, food tax, gas tax and many other places the government steals our money from us at the point of a gun, then they would hold the schools responsable for thier performance.

That's why priviet schools work, because the parents are looking at it right.....thier paying for a service and expect a product that reflects the price they are ask to pay....where as in public schools they (read government here) have got us so used to taxes that we believe the lie that public education is free to us. It's not. We pay for it in taxes and it's time we held them responsable for taking our money and not providing a good product.

I apolagize if I sounded like I was jumping on you. That wasn't my intention. I think from the sound of your post we hold the same opinion when it comes to this issue and that is: Lets fix this big broken machine called public education so future children have the best oppertunity to succeed in life. I hope we will.
