“If we can all agree that the little angels are NOT “special”, and that teacher IS the authority, the problems will go away. It doesn’t have anything to to with the schools being public.”

We had quite the discussion on this in another thread. We are a lazy indulgent and apparently finger pointing do nothing society. I agree with you completely BTW. Education minded kids might have less births that they are not ready for. We don’t seem to really care if the kids are education minded or have good schools as long as they are not ours and for that we are part of the problem.
