Excellent comments. I saw a news show about the Kansas City court case and the results back in the 90s. Truly $$$ alone will not solve the problem. Another example is Washington, DC. NONE of the politicians send their kids to the schools because they are sooo bad. DC spend the most per pupil in the country and the results are pathetic.

If I was King, I would abolish the Education Department, abolish public education, and provide school vouchers for each student.

LOL, if you are abolishing public school, you don't need vouchers :)

Let people keep that portion of their property taxes and let them pay for private or provide their own schooling.

Actually, I do know of one congressional kid in a pretty good magnet school program (D.C. publick skools do have a few bright spots). No names. I'm not calling out an 8 year old.
