I think we need a $3,000 tax credit for people who send their child to a private school.

What we need are vouchers, and more community-run schools with authority to fire teachers who don't teach. Of course, we need parents who have decided it is their primary duty to educate their own children, instead of passing the buck to someone else.

We surely need something because if college is going to continue to be the cesspool of American institutions by promoting everything under-the-sun crap and less about an actual education you can better believe I will send my kids to vocational schools instead. Far better for them to learn a skill than deal with the radicals in the universities indoctrinating young American minds into the mush heads they are turning out.
I can tell you this. I am an IT Consultant and I have seen the garbage first hand by these so called institutions. Oh yeah a degree in computer science/engineering and a company hires them only to find out these mush heads don't even know the basics! I know it happens because I had to take on one of these mush for brains as a technician at a very prominant investment firm and he couldn't even dir a dos directory much less even understand IP addressing and he gets hired by RJR 2 weeks later making $60k.
To tell you the truth they are the reason I am a consultant and not working as a full time IT guy. If it wasn't for these mush heads messing stuff up and companies paying me a fortune to get them out of a jam I would actually have to work with all these morons on a regular 8-5 basis. Nowadays I work maybe the equivalent of 6 days a month and make more money and less headaches and don't have to listen to their ideological indoctrination rants and more time teaching my kids how not to be an idiot like these guys.
You wanna know the real reason why IT has been going overseas? Because people like me who actually know how to do things right take getting less money than a moron as an insult and won't take the jobs for cheap. Serves them right if you ask me. Frankly, I like making $125/hr only to come in and show that little punk with his arse in a bind how to do it right the first time only to know that he won't learn it and I'll be back in a few weeks covering his butt again for another $125/hr. After all he's gotta justify it to his bosses not me.
