Can you give us some examples of why you think public education isn't working? All you really did was state your opinions but I'd be very interested in knowing why you feel that way. I do believe that the public school system is not as good as it used to be but for the most part I think public education is working well. I believe that most, if not all, the problems with public schools are caused by parents. For instance, the only reason, I believe, that violence and drugs are so rampant in our schools is because parents are not raising thier children right anymore. Not all parents, I think most raise thier kids right. But today, more than ever, parents are not spending enough time with thier kids, they don't teach thier kids right from wrong, they don't teach thier kids to love and respect the Lord and other people, they don't disipline thier kids when they do something wrong etc... And then they go and blame the school or the government when thier kid fails school or whatever. Like it's the schools fault the poor kid grew up never knowing his own father, or growing up in a household where they were abused, never taught responsibility and so on. The fault lies with the parents. 9 times out of 10 when somebody really screws up thier life and ends up on drugs or in jail, it's because the parents weren't really good parents at all.
