<DIV>It's not the public's fault they are asses, they are the victims of
public educational mediocrity, (which is to say education in the overall
sense of the word). One thing I've never understood is: if by any objective
measure the K-12 school system is so bad then why force the poor little
wretches to school at all? Why not let them stay at home to be homeschooled,
or just learn a skill/craft? Life is still quite short so why send
children to schools where the illiteracy rate is unacceptably high &
the children pick on each other? </DIV>
<DIV>Lets have vouchers not only for private schools but
also for homeshooling <BR><BR></DIV>
