[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1168168, member: 4886"] No such thing as easy when you talk about schools\politics\children. I wish you were right, but easy is not a word I'd ever use. I fear that even if you are right, the timing would be such that my grandchildren wouldn't see this enacted (and they haven't been born yet). We don't have charter schools in my area, (we do have private schools, parochial schools etc), Yet we don't really have enough money for our school systems. The teachers aren't paid all too well especially new ones. I think a large part of problem is due to all the kids with IAP's that need one on one aids. Now, let me be clear. I think we do have a duty to teach all kids. However, my wife is a substitute teacher in town. She has done the elementary school and middle school. She subs for aids as well as teachers. She said the lion's share of the kids with IAP's (aka needing aids) are mostly due to parents who don't teach their kids to know their numbers before first grade or teach them the alphabet, basic spelling, basic reading etc. Also, many of these same kids eat nothing but JUNK food. Total junk, their snack is candy, basically just junk food. Then guess what, they misbehave after snack time.. I'd probably misbehave if my blood sugar level spiked like those kids. AGREED. [/QUOTE]
