i think there should be NO public school for the masses... maybe just for those in dire need--meaning the poorest of the poor... just like public housing... (the way it was meant to be way back in the early days of our country.)

Here! Here! latina4dubya! Government should not be running schools OR financing them. The FEDERAL government should not spend one PENNY on "education." The poor, the retarded, orphans--all could be taken care of infinitely better by private charity than by government.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Back then they were called, "charity schools" businesses and the wealthy actually built them because it was the right thing to do and good community relations.

Now days we have forced "charity" and most of it goes to those not in need.
