Public schools are going the way of the dodo bird and the HMS Titanic. The sooner the better. Parents have been trying for at least a generation to get the public schools to not do insane things; to no avail. May they (public schools) rest in peace.
May they (public schools) rest in peace. My officemate asked me if I thought there was any way the 'powers that be' could figure out how to fix the public schools. I told him, "Sure - make them compete for students."
It's time for freedom and choice in education. It's way past time, actually.
Shalom.
