I am sorry to have to be the one to advise you of this, but the REAL crisis in Education in this Country is the LACK OF THINKING!!! You really think that "we, the People" should be paying for little Johnny to "go to school" AND college??? We have consistently dropped the educational benefits of HIGH SCHOOL to levels that would make an elementary school student in 1898 seem like a college graduate now, and the requirements of insurance companies and lack of tort reform have created an atmosphere of paranoia in schools that would rival ANY that Ripley traversed in the Alien movie series!

We, as a Society, have created the "adult adolescent" who continues to sponge off Mom and Dad, well into his or her thirties, and they still consider themselves "kids." And it's due to non-thinking idiots who want to "be fair" to everybody. Try reading Ayn Rand's ATLAS SHRUGGED past the 7th chapter (gee, it may be BORING to read through the "set-up" but the "pay-off" SHOULD change your THOUGHT process so that you can actually think for YOURSELF from then on). As a school teacher, this should be a no-brainer for you to accomplish... but I bet you $100 you won't finish it once you reach your "character of emulation"-- which I suspect to be James Taggart.

Ignorance is bliss... so why aren't YOU happy?
