Big gov types never understand that children spend 13 percent of their time in school, 1 percent at church if they go to church and the rest of the time at home. Which will influence children the most? Home!!!! So no matter how much you spend for the schools per student, it will be meaningless if the child’s home life is a failure. Look at inner city minority schools as an example. You can triple current spending per student it will still fail and lag in performance.

AMEN! How many of us know people who think that TV or videogames are acceptable babysitters for their kids?

I thank God my kids turned out okay and are raising their kids well. I have too many friends whose grandkids are growing up on a diet of videogames and TV.

We have created an entitlement culture that shirks the responsibility of raising its young.
