"There are many problems with public schooling, but public schools are NOT responsible for: failure to enforce immigration laws; 14-year old crackhead mothers who abuse their babies to the point the kids are mentally disabled; parents who ignore their kids entirely, don't read to them, don't teach them proper English, etc. These "lower test scores" are showing the demographic cracks in American society, not an overall "failure" of public education."
So, what you're advocating is tougher immigration laws, fewer teenage mothers, stronger families, and better parenting. All good ideas. Unfortunately, the Left has historically opposed these ideas as well.
The NEA now has the American parent and child right where they want them. Soon they will advocate that they take the children at age three due to the fact the the parents are too busy and really do not know how to raise and control them anyway. This is partially due to the fact that we are now in the second generation of the dumbing down society.
It might be too late for what ikanakattara is advocating. This is a "democracy" ha, excuse me, and the majority rules. If the Mexican population exceeds the anglo in the schools they should all be taught in Spanish.. Remember we do NOT have a national language.....
