I am absolutely not denying that people be allowed to send their children to 
private schools.  BUT, what I AM saying is that the public schools allow the 
whole of children can get educated.  You get out of it what you put into it. 
  Public schools need more than the teachers and administration involved.  
IT NEEDS THE PARENTS TO BE INVOLVED!!!

There are PTA's and other organizations that parents can belong to as well 
as making the parent-teacher meetings (you realize that over 50% of those 
are NOT attended to by the parents of this community?) and other things you, 
as a parent of a school-aged child, can do and be involved with that would 
help make the system work better.  Just relying on the school district, etc. 
is WRONG and then complaining about it makes it TOTALLY wrong.

Be active and get involved.  If you can't see that as the main message I'm 
trying to make - you are not trying to.
