But the current amount is twice of an amount at which the results were as unacceptable. We have this experiment going on with one variable: money. You put in more, no result, you put in even more - no result. Now with failure after failure in this experiment you say: I don't care if we have to spend twice as much on our educational system to get it healthy Well, the results are in, since it has been tried over and over. The system is not going to get healthy. If it that is true (and I don't think it is), then this country will get very unhealthy in the future. Without a good public school system, this country is screwed Well, if you start with a dogma and no fact will ever sway you, there is no point in arguing. I am open to either public, private, for profit or non-profit, whatever works. Its not dogma but fact....if a good education is not available to all peoples of a country, then that country will fail ultimately as a successful, vibrant democracy. I don't have any children..yet. Well I have one, and that's why results are important to me. I hope that I will be able to find her a place to learn that is at least as good as I was given - on a shoestring budget in the communist Czechoslovakia. I don't know if I will succeed. My friends in Orange County have convinced themselves that they must send their children to a private school inspite of the fact that the public schools in their area are far superior to the schools I went to (and mine were good). There are times when a private school is a better alternative than public schools but that should be the exception and not the rule. ted
