As I said, I pulled my kids to private. It is clearly a problem still in the schools, [b]because people are putting up photos of such.[/b]  You are (deliberately) missing my point entirely - you say "replace the workbooks." What about the TEACHERS who don't even CHECK THE WORKSHEETS before sending them home. Again, I would have been fired if I did that. How does a teacher send home a worksheet with errors?

I am against funding of public education when it is clear that it has become a waste of taxpayer dollars. People with a solid business head understand the concept of not throwing good money after bad. How much money do YOU feel it will take to fix the problem, because clearly it's not enough. Or is the solution not throwing more money at it, but throwing OUT those who have no clear clue how to manage education at all?!

Sorry, you would have been fired if you sent home a worksheet that had an error in it?   Errors don't happen at your kids' private schools?

I am really lost with the rest of your paragraph.   I sent my kid to private school for 2 years before I realized that his education was no better than it would be in the public school system.   My kids have since been in public schools in MD and their education has been fine.   I could take pictures of my kids' math homework for you if you would like... it's a pretty normal math series, with perfectly normal workbook questions.   A time or two, I suppose there has been a typo or mistake; things happen.   For errors I would contact the publisher; if the errors were frequent, I'd contact the public school official in charge of curriculum and instruction to urge them to replace the materials the next funding cycle.   If they refused it would be a matter to take to the school board, I suppose.

I feel the public schools have been fine.   I don't think people are throwing money at problems; they are spending money to educate kids.[/quote]
