Americans are the most generous people on earth. If all government socialist-entitlement schooling were to disappear tomorrow, does anyone **seriously*** believe that **generous** Americans would leave any child without access to an education? No, of course not!

Imagine this. What if schooling in the U.S. resembled the volunteer effort seen in our Volunteer Fire Departments. I have lived in two communities with volunteer fire departments and they were **first class** in training and equipment.

Question: What if we had **volunteer** community education?

I believe if education "funding" were voluntary INSTEAD of compulsory, I think we would have a MUCH, MUCH BETTER system.

Simply from the fact that with it being compulsory, there is just so much waste and graft.

At a voluntary level, those involved are going to want to make sure that their giving is going to a worthwhile cause. Or people will head up causes themselves to get things done. Instead of leaving it up to bureaucrats and politicians.

The real problem...And not just in the inner city, but everywhere...and that is people taking up PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
