For the most part, schools are controlled by the teacher's unions who overwhelmingly support Democratic candidates. Is it any wonder why Democrats are against anything that would reduce their power? Yet, they blame Republicans for ruining schools and people actually believe what they say.

Heard another good point on this today.

One county in NE Sip has 5 high schools.

Of this five, one campus graduated 12 this year. Another graduated less than 30.

Yet Dems aren't willing to consolidate Keep in mind, these campuses still require all the staff and other expenses.

Such a waste

You can't regulate parents to care/invest is their children.

My solution would be charter schools. If kids don't perform or attend, kick them out to the public school system.
Our district has what they call the alternative school. This is a campus for those with disciplinary issues They get the attention they need and remove them from those who are willing to act right.

Kids need to learn there are consequences for action, or rewards. I think that lesson has been lost.
