18. An individual can only do so much
At some point you worry about your own. How are you going to keep a child safe in an unsafe school? If you pay your taxes and do your best to see that funds are equitably distributed, then what else can you do? We happen to do a lot to support our local school (see my other post), but if I was in our neighboring district, I would concentrate my efforts entirely in the most economic way to get my child educated safely. It is the parents of these other children who have checked out. We have alot of them in our school system as well, but it has not yet reached a critical mass. Give it another generation, and our school system may be a lost cause as well.

Why do you think on this liberal board that Homeschooling is so popular? I pity the child who has no choices in his/her education.
