[extropy-chat] the choice to get out of a bad situation

[Al Brooks]

:) that is correct. "you see, Mandrake, it was during
the physical act of love-- I was seized with a feeling
of fatigue; at first I could not ascertain the source
of my inability but, fortunately, I discovered the
cause was the sapping of my pure natural vital
essence, Purity Of Essence [POE] due to the
fluoridation of my precious bodily fluids" 
--Jack D. Ripper, 'Dr. Strangelove'.

Seriously, I don't know what to do concerning
education, no one does. But we can safely say those
parents sending their children to shall we say lesser
schools in bad neighborhoods have to receive the
choice about how to remove the students from their
situations; they need the ability to get out by way of
vouchers, charter schools, homeschooling-- whatever it
takes-- and fast. 
A 'lesser' school in a bad neighborhood is no place to
be.
