This is exactly what those 1,000 kids were trying to do in Normandy. They cared but couldn't afford to get out [/quote]

Bs.  They cared about education, but they failed all tests at their school and didn't attend?  [b]A school is rated failing based on the current failing tests and lack of attendance.  [/b]

These were not all honor students. They probably thought "hey, if I get my kid on the bus to a better school, the school will do the work for me and turn my failing kid into a better student."  The schools don't make the students, it's the students who make the school.[/quote]

So you've just confirmed that you didn't listen to the story.  The reporter followed an honors student around for an entire day and it was the [i]teachers [/i]who failed to show up.

But please, stick hard to your personal responsibility mantra.  It's provided a fascinating first-hand account of how people can be convinced to vote for charlatans who say the government shouldn't be held accountable for anything.

Just wondering, do you expect your public school to be staffed by professional teachers who actually show up to work, or do you think your stellar parenting would suffice to bring your child(ren) to success?
