Speaking of schools...wonder what Abraham Lincoln would have thought (and learned) from our schools today...seems he did fairly well in a very small one room school...without any of the luxuries we have come to think of as our "right" and "our due" today.... How many of our forefathers had to learn English first, before they could own land, or just about anything else....AND were PROUD of having learned??!! ...and YES, we ALL benefit from well-educated people....we just want them to be well-educated, and today, unfortunately, we have ample opportunity to see the results of the last few decades of our educational system. Here are some links that some who are well-educated might want to see.... Best, KLP showcase.netins.net nara.gov nara.gov

One huge problem is the teachers compensation package. Would they really be wise to leave state retirement benefits, state insurance, etc. to go teach somehwere that might no be around in a few years or may create a profit at the expense of their future compensation? I was thinking the private schools might pay teachers double salary with no benefits. Simialar to a sole proprietor programmer, 1099 status. Is that NOT whats happening where you are?
