Flap, I learned to be a supporter of the public school system from my parents, both of whom were active in PTA and such when I was a subteeny bopper. The public school system should be the best we can get. Right now it supports too many irrelevant causes for sake of political correctness. An example: My daughter complained that one of her fellow teachers was teaching kids that there were right angles and left angles. This same 'teacher' taught physical education from a chair because she couldn't stand up long enough otherwise. Put bluntly, she was incompetent but the system would do nothing about it. My daughter's little hispanic kids had been taught by their parents to revere their teachers--and they did. After a two year absence, she was treated like a celebrity during a visit. The white kids and some other groups had no such ethic, but they loved her anyway. The system couldn't make space to hire her back because of the deadwood they were carrying. That's the problem I think George W. Bush will fix. Schools will have to hire good teachers or they won't be able to survive because their kids will be moving to schools where the good teachers are highly valued.
