But give your kids the best you can. Don't accept second best when 1st is there for the taking.

That's why Chelsy Clinton didn't go to a public school in Washington...

I'm with you on displine in the public schools. But I think the blame is misplaced when you put it on the parents.

Are there bad parents: Hell yes. I know the type you speak of.

I don't want my kids being held back by theirs.

So I will send my kids to a school where parental involvment is not only desired, but it is REQUIRED.

ALL the parents need to be involved in their kids education. Only then can the students, teachers, and parents all get on the same page.

Unfortunatly, our public system is set up to treat each child as if he/she comes from a broken home; Each parent as if he/She is leading a broken home; and each teacher as the social worker who should try vainly to heal the broken home.

Your job isn't to heal. It is to teach. And most homes are not broken.
