It is the system and those that understand the system and still protect it that I take issue with - teacher, parents, administrators, politicians. I do not care, if you protect it or defend it your wrong.

When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side, 'I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already...What are you? You will pass on. Your decendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing but this new community.

I agree totally. The system does NOT promote accountability. It reminds me of the '70's SNL commercial of the phone company where Lily Tomlin nonchalantly wreaks havoc with the phone system, and then, at the end of the commercial, she says, "We're the phone company. Where else you gonna go?"

The only thing that will correct the American educational system is complete revolution and turning the whole big mess over to the free market. Vouchers are a step in the right direction, but people need to be given the CHOICE of having their tax dollars going to the private school where their children attend.

If money starts coming out of the bureaucrats pockets because they're trying to sell an inferior product, the product will have to get better, or if it can't compete, it will die.

You know, it's an internet discussion list rule that whoever quotes Hitler first loses.

Again, you have me confused with someone else. I do not like the system, I do not defend the system, and I wish to dismantle the system. I serve in the system only because I love children and do not wish to leave them at the mercy of those who love the system. I am in the process of doing something to fix or remove the system. I have merely pointed out that in the article posted, a teacher's hourly wage is grossly misrepresented.
