[quote=Anonymous]That article was heartbreaking. The root of the problem seems to be that these communities use their power as a voting block to pressure politicians to cave to their demands. I was wondering if the Governor of NY could put the schools into receivership and turn the power of oversight to the New York State Department of Education. Since that body is not elected, they could make demands of the schools without the fear of losing their jobs. The fact that we are allowing young people to leave school without a working knowledge of English, the language of employment in the United States, is criminal. We have mandatory school attendance laws in the country because we have a shared belief that through education every citizen can gain the skills to become self-supporting. These schools are not fulfilling that important role. [/quote]
