What you say is true. But really dedicated teachers can reach some of the children whose parents or guardians (foster care, whatever) have failed them, not all, but some. I don't think blame should be assigned for teachers who cannot reach the lost children- but it must be a goal, a mission, of our public schools to try. Because it is the potentially lost children who cause so much pain and cost society so much- in both money and emotional damage. And it is the really difficult children that no voucher system will help- because they are expensive and frustrating to deal with- much easier to just kick them out and dump them somewhere else. They are already born, they go to school, and we should try to reach them and help them. Every child wants to be helped- even the emotionally ill children want assistance and love- they simply have no idea how to go about getting it.
