All the crap you replied to is just an excuse. My kids go to a "good" public school. They have a room, a teacher, a board and parents who give a crap. No books (elementary school), no computer, no special stuff. Simply put there's a very strong correlation between how important education is to the parents to how important education is to the kids. If you want to learn, learn. If you don't, don't.

As I mentioned in an earlier thread, in poor areas more money is spent per kid - about $15K per student per year. As the 32 kids/class that my kids have, that's $400K per classroom.

Real World

BF, this country has become full of appologist, righteous, excusist, do gooder, PC people, and we're worse for it. Everyone's answer to individual problems amounts to more money, bigger government, tax the rich, etc... none of it ever comes down to individual accountability.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897

I agree I hate that this country has a generation of youth who see more government as the solution.

At the same time, special interests and lobbying groups have hijacked this country's government. The American Dream is no longer real to most people because the government is working for the elite, the deep pocketed, whoever has money to give for campaigns.
