Been in this fight before and I don't believe anyones mind is going to be
changed by words.
I truly believe that environment, poverty, parenting, and schools all play a
part in the loss of a child within the education system. We all are aware
of the new teacher problem..beyond that....my question is to Michael...what
would you do to correct the problem in the public schools other than home
school or send off to charter? What are your solutions?
