Ted, the societal issues are a big part of the problem, but many of the schools are bad. Vouchers are an attempt to deal with this aspect of the problem, and should have no negative effect on the other problems. They are not an attempt to avoid anything. Tim, How can a building be bad? Schools are bad because we don't believe teachers should be paid a reasonable salary, because we do not think the races are equal, because we have huge disparities in income between peoples, because the use of drugs and alcohol are rampant in our cities and suburbs, because we have some of the most liberal gun laws in the world, because there is no supervision of children from lower income families where both parents work or where there in only one parent who is working, the list goes on and on. These are societal ills and not scholastic ones. We are one of the wealthiest countries in the world and yet some of our cities look like they belong in a third world country. Schools are not bad, Tim, but I think our society needs some work. ted
