Government schools are pure evil and a joke (just like almost all government). That people take these schools seriously amazes me. Government schools are to be fought against as something evil which they are as they are socialism not as something to be discussed seriously . HOMESCCHOOL, private school etc. , no government schools.
We live in a nice neighborhood and there are weekly drug raids at the public school. That is why we stretch our budget and send our boys to parochial school. It is difficult but well worth it.
