When are the do-gooders going to learn that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Better schools only work when students want to be better students, and that drive has to come from within the student and from within the home. Until that happens, all of these programs are just going to continue to be a waste of taxpayer money.

How can it be a waste...if you give the "same dollars" that we are spending/wasting now...to the individuals..who then decide where they go to school?

No matter the school..there will always be those that won't/don't learn.

Do you give any of this burden to the teachers, system, etc..?
