In America schools across the continent are radically different. Some are outstanding while others are full of idiots. In some way, that is why vouchers are appealing. Even within a single school district where all schools are governed by the same board or directors or trustees, there are radical swings in the quality of education. 57 Billion dollars is a lot of ****ing money. MORE, way MORE than entire domestic incomes of some developing countries. Money is not an issue, its incompetence and selfish motivations of a few parents who invoke stupid ideas for a single purpose, their own desires over others. If my kid can’t comprehend mathematics, no one else should either. Lower the standard, eliminate that which I hate and destroy possibilities I don’t understand.
