No, what I really want is for a voucher program to pass so that I can choose which school to send my children to.

Actually though, until I move I don't have to worry about it. Because, if you sent your child through a private Montessori program like we did, then researched for months the public school paperwork/interview requirements. Your kids get to go to special program for gifted kids. (provided of course they do well on the non R&R studied state wide tests.)

The government schools are a lot like the tax laws. If you're willing to study for weeks researching every requirement, your child can probably go to a decent public school.

You know what's funny, there's only 3 boys in a class of 12 in my sons first grade. Seems girls test better at an early age than boys on average. Something tells me if the gender numbers were reversed their would be a big hue and cry from the media.
