Palm Beach County is one of the wealthiest counties in the state, yet has some incredibly lousy schools. Unless you are in an "honors" program, you're screwed, whether you are a teacher or student. The level of "political correctness/affirmative action" and the lack of teacher retention has led to some of the most unqualified hires you can think of.

You have a point, but this article makes a valid point too -- the behavior of some kids is just out of control. And, it costs a ton of money to then place these kids in alternative schools.

Kids in Jupiter Farms, a new rural housing area (horse are big) are now trucked down to Palm Beach Gardens school. ON the edge of Robert Wexler land. Middle class people in the Farms who worked like dogs to buy a new home in the country and get their kids out of the rot. Now they are furious. The kids spend almost two hours a day on a school bus.
