Public schools seem like the final stages of a patient on life support - at a certain point, you have to turn off the machines and say "forget about it. It's over." (Pravious)

Pravious,

So...why are parents still sending their precious children to nut houses like this? Oh..yeah, their children go to Blue Ribbon schools ( right! sarcasm).

It's time that we start looking parents right in the eye and ask, "Why on earth would you do this to your kid?!"

What is a "blue ribbon school?" I've never seen that statement attached to any school I've ever been at or attended. Is that something local to you?
