Not everyone is capable of home schooling nor is everyone financially capable of financing private schools. Remember, these people still have taxes to pay regardless if their children attend public school or not. As a relatively young single person without children I’m forced to pay $5307.07 (2014)for these so-called “government schools.”
The only way to attack the problem is with local control. Forget the PTA crap. Attend school board meetings...be vocal...get elected to the school boards.
Running away from the problem isn’t the best method in finding resolution to the education problem.
Well said.
I totally support your statement about running for school board. This is the grass roots level where common sense is required the most, STARTING WITH SETTING THE EXPECTATIONS WITH TEACHER AND ADMINISTRATOR CONTRACTS.
There is absolutely no reason a “Superintendent” should be hired at $175,000/year for a PART TIME JOB.
