How is it that the private schools spend considerably less per pupil, and have a much higher graduation rate from HS, and of those HS grads, a MUCH higher rate going on to college.... Let me guess... Because they aren't getting any 'help' from Ayers?

Sorry, this was supposed to be a PM- but I will let it stand. One of the reasons private has less cost per pupil is that they don't have to meet the needs of all students as public education does. They can pick the best, and they can expel the troublemakers. They also don't have to provide special needs children with daycare and programs. (drives me nuts to see kids who can't even hold their heads up and just drool all day in a chair be provided full trained care on the pretext of "education") And it takes committed parents to apply for, come up with the money, and get their kids to private schools. We did private through 6th grade, and I spent incredible amounts of time working at the school. I subbed, I worked in the library, I served on the Parents Council, I ran the Book Fair and other fundraising events, and Dan was on the Board. The parents were a very close bunch. I would love to see special needs somehow removed from normal education curricula. If we (as a society) feel we should offer a parent relief from a severely handicapped child, then set it up separately. Get back to educating the educable. That's my rant for the day! :)
