In spite of the fact that I support home schooling, I have to state here that the problem with public schools is NOT THE IUTTER LACK OF QUALITY OF THE TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS!

It is the lack of quality in the parents of these children. A teacher cannot teach a child who has parents who do not respect the teacher, who do not discipline their children, who do not make sure homework is done, if they even make sure their children go to school!

The lack of quality in our public school is a reflection of a lack of quality in our culture.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I bet those parents are products of the government schools themselves.
