My struggle is that the politics involved in the public school systems is too entrenched. My sentiment is that this is a war won by the left, i.e. there is no use in fighting. Or that my efforts and rhetoric would be better used elsewhere.

My opinions are also formed by witnessing successful student in the Wash DC area. They are only successful since they abandoned the public schools. (?)

I do believe in certain parts of this once great country, you are right. I still hope that not all school districts are lost, maybe most, but maybe a few can be saved.
