Oh, alright *breathe in* *breathe out* There! ;^)
I didn't mean to jump on you. The point that I was trying to make was that America had this sense of community before the federal government was involved in the schools. I would point out that our sense of community has gone down since federal involvement with the schools began.
I have no objection to local communities getting together and running a school system. That is the way schooling used to happen in this country. My main objection with today's public schools is with the federal involvement and the lock the teacher's union has on the system.
Get those two things out and I may even consider sending my kids to a local school.

I would agree. Get the federal government involved and anything goes downhill. Still, we have pretty strong local control here.
