 > Show me where it says that in the constitution.

The Constitution isn't going to cover every nook and cranny topic, so using
it as your basis for this debate won't hold much water I'm afraid.  According
to US Government standards, Public Education is a must and will be part of
everyone's taxes, regardless of their personal stature or social level.

Need I also remind you that documents such as The Constitution was
indoctrinated quite a few many years ago, and some documents still carry
'laws' that allow us to do certain things that today is against the law.  Our
governing manuscripts in any facet need to be updated if for nothing else, to
finally abolish all the out dated laws from long ago.


 > PUBLIC being the problem.

Maybe, then again maybe not.  Not all public schools are less than par on an
education scale of superiority.  Not all private schools dominate over
public, either.

Public isn't the problem neccessarily, the education system itself is part of
the problem, and individual state and local school systems also add into
that.  You have a serious amount of people, or in this case 'cooks', and
they're all spoiling the brew.

The one thing I don't understand is people who raise their voice loud enough
to argue a point with their own aspect of reality to guide them, but in most
situations won't lift a finger locally to help make a difference.

So while I take your comments at face value, I must also say that arguing
your point is only the beginning in making a change.  There's still so much
more you can do if you feel something is below your set par.

I don't know, maybe that could be an answer.  I know here in Florida
education has gone to the crapper.  My old High School where I graduated has
turned so bad, they need 2 liason officers there full time, and the staff is
constantly worried about gangs and such.

That's not the system, or the administration's fault that the school is that
bad.  It really starts at home.

When my wife and I go to our daughter's school to help them do things, raise
money, spend time with our daughter in the activities that mean something to
her, what surprises and saddens me the most is being told that we're
practically the only family that really cares enough to interact with the
system and show concern for our daughter's education and such.

Get involved ... volunteer, whatever it takes.  But ... do something!
