[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When it's free and available there isn't really any reasonable excuse left for not taking advantage of it. The only excuses that are left are ignorance and apathy. You can lead a horse to water, but it's ultimately up to the horse to drink. Just what do you think throwing money at more educational resources will do, when people don't bother availing themselves of all the excellent free resources that are already out there? What's the point of gold-plating the trough that the horse doesn't want to bother to drink out of in the first place?[/quote] Even successful people have their apathetic and ignorant moments. Some people, maybe most people, can learn how to not be ignorant and apathetic most of the time. Worth a try. What's the alternative -- fire and hire teachers until you find some who can pound information into the kids' heads until they score proficient on the DC-CAS? That hasn't worked.[/quote]
