SportiePants, you are of the mindset that schools are the answer. We aren't smart enough to know what is best for our kids, we need the government education system to tell us what is best for us and our kids. You are a sheep.........or a cow....You know what happens when you fall in line and follow the path of the other sheep and cattle.........sooner or later you step in some Sh*t......

As long as a kid completes his assignments or makes it up, there should be no consequences for a kid missing school or practice or tourneys with his HS team, as long as it is going to help make that kid better.

America said a loud NO to your way of thinking a few Tuesdays ago.....

School vouchers are one answer........

Any other business that is run the way our public education system is run would land the administration in jail. Monopolies in business are illegal, and kudos to the private schools and their students and parents for making a go of it without government "help".

If people would get their heads out of the sand, they would realize that the Wall Street corruption is peanuts compared to the top heavy way our government schools are run......

I could go on all night.............Now my blood pressure is up.. I'll bring it down with a gluttonous feast of turkey and dressing tomorrow............

Happy Thanksgiving
