The old accounting trick is in play here....now you see it...now you don't! Figures lie, and liars figure, so what else is new? It costs much more to send them to school but the end result is a joke on the taxpayers, and we wind up with really stupid kids as a result.
So sad isn't it? I guess that's what happens when 70% of the underperforming segment of the population is born into a one parent/ multiple child household---their grades suck. Who woulda thunk it?
