“I don’t know, since you are so passionate about the issue, I figured maybe you’d want to jusm in and help fix the “problem.”
I don’t think that there is a reasonable fix or set of fixes that will emerge that are going to fix the “problem(s)” with government schools. I don’t view the government schools as being worth the effort. It’s sort of like dumping money and time into a Ford Pinto. Yeah, you can spend a lot of money and time fixing up your car, but when the day is done....it’s still a Ford Pinto.
The best “fix” I see has little to do with the government schools and everything to do with the children who attend them. Take them out and spend the resources to educate them at home or privately. Many parents already have the resources to do so, it’s just a matter of priorities.
You’re right in noting that parental involvement is the key. I’m into the idea parental involvement. So much so that I think that in many (but not all) instances, parents would be better off to simply take the job on themselves.
Well, it sounds like we both have the same goal with different paths.
