Reason? to wit: Incompetent teachers, dumbed down curriculum, fear of political correctness by administrators, acceptance of those applauding and/or accepting sodomy as a reasonable lifestyle, the ACLU...to name a few.
Want to educate your child? Get them out of public "schooling" and put them into the best non-public (governmental) school available!
No money your say? A wimp response!... Forego that expensive vacation....drive your jalopy until the wheels fall off...no more expensive clothes or dining out....
Forget reformation of the Democratic party or the socialists such as Dachle, Clinton etc as these people have damaged our public school system beyond any sensible repair.
Bottom line...expend your energy instead to Save your child
