Re: "What do you say to the parent in a school system like Baltimore (which is indicative of other cites) who have endured years of sub standard education and listened to this drivel that the system is improving, when in fact it deteriorates every day."

Test scores in Baltimore did not improve after three years of the privatization experiment.

So what would I tell the parent? To become involved in your child's school. Successful school district all have one thing in common: Parents who take a strong interest in their children's education.

Re: "The system is designed so that it can't change." Disagree. The school districts that have changed the most in the past 15 years at those at the bottom. Some really slick ideas have been tried, but, in all too many cases, the results have been the same.

In my opinion, it's a societal problem more so than an education problem.
