That's great; why don't you volunteer your time or money to the public schools?? Oh, I forgot, you "could care less." That's very big of you....(((Squeak!!!)))

I said that I could care less "whether the failure of the public school system is the teacher's fault or the administration's fault". Failure is failure and excuses won't change that.

That is what I don't care about: Your excuses for the failure of public schools.

As I said, I am now subsidizing a top-notch education for 8 kids that are not even my own kids.

I'm producing results. What are you doing now to show your "caring" besides making excuses for the failure of the public school sysatem?

As for "donating time", I have a medical practice where I am at work before public schools open and I come home long after public schools close. I am at the hospital six days out of seven.

By your profile, I see that you are currently unemployed.

If I were unemployed as you are, I would have time to "volunteer" too. However, any such volunteering would be for our school and not the Government-run school that you admit fail because of being "boxed in by their Administration".

As it is, I volunteer money to a private school that produces results. Time is money and money is time. (Unless you are unemployed in which case time and money are not correlated with each other at all.)

As to "volunteering my money" to public schools, I pay over $100,000 per year in taxes, year after year, so I am quite certain that I have contributed more money to Government-run schools than you will ever contribute in your entire life and your next two or three lifetimes even if the Almighty decides to re-incarnate you.

You claim that public schools fail "because of the Adminstration" and then you want the rest of us to sacrifice our kids, our time and our money left over after taxes to that failed system.

No thanks.

I already finance the Government-run schools at a level you will never equal. With whatever money the Government does not tax, I prefer to finance an educational system that actually delivers a quality education.

I got an MBA... stopped thinking about making cash, and decided to teach... I volunteer over 17 hours a week to earn my certification. I also study at the Fire Academy so I can work as a reserve. Some folks, like myself, dive into the fire... we don't toss money around to feel good about our superiority over the community. We contribute and Care about the foot prints we make. Again <<>>

One more thing, why don't you volunteer your time and expertise, if you are good at business, maybe, just maybe, you are good at something else. Unless of course, you are a lawyer.
