Brad, Some parents are doing just that. Its called "Home Schooling". Those kids do just fine when matched against public school kids. Then we have Parochial Schools which also perform better than public schools. My first statement stands. It wouldnt if there were not schools in inner cities that outperform their subdivision counterparts. But the brutal fact is that in these instances there is an administration and faculty commitment to excellence not found in the school down the street. The Kids are the same, the parents are the same, but one particular inner city school chooses to transcend cultural roadblocks, and choose to run the school in spite of single parent, non parent, non caring parent, inept schoolboard members, lack of money, and every other excuse you can come up with. When you can honestly answer how this phenomonon can occur, then you will realize what you (collectivly) are doing wrong, and will fix it instead of laying the problem at the feet of parents. Every kid in America is entitled to the opportunity of a High School education, they are NOT, however, entitled to that education without earning it, nor are they entitled to obstruct someone elses opportunity. Teachers and administrators have the stage. How can college educated people be so manipulated by all the periferal manusha. As you have no business running a students parents household, neither do they have any business running your classroom. Where did that point get lost. Nuph said, back to the tractor.
