Ok....I have a question for you.

Since I have been a child, ( I am now in my sixties), there have been many efforts to reform government owned and run socialist- entitlement and single payer schooling.

So?...After all the money and effort expended over so many decades why on earth would you think this socialist-entitlement and single payer institution of government schooling can be fixed?

It can’t be fixed. It should be dismantled, imho.

Several reasons:

I have seen an increase in the number of parents homeschooling, starting charter schools, and sending their children to private and parochial schools. Competition breeds quality improvement. The more options available the more pressure there will be to make improvements.

Second Our country is reaching a tipping point where we will not be able to afford to continue entitlement programs at the same level we are now. This will probably occur in the next 5- 12 years. At that time there will be a strong Conservative leader who will be able to make the corrections needed.

If you look at our history you will see that Great conservatives have risen to the top to lead us through difficult times. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Reagan.

But that can't happen if people like you do nothing more than sit on the sidelines and whine.

It will take people like my classmates and myself that hold traditional values to make a difference. I see positive changes beginning already in my district due to people that are willing to work within the system. It won't happen over night and it will take longer if people like you continue to accuse us and try us out and make us feel guilty for trying to actually make a difference.

Now feel free to make one of you ignorant canned responses instead of giving this genuine thought.
