    You have a couple of things standing in the way.

    1. Parents - alot of parents do not give their children priority, after all they are paying the government to raise their children through the school system and the government knows best
    2. Teachers Union - incredibly powerful, maybe the most powerful union in the country
    3. Sloth of the parents - do not underestimate the laziness of parents, it is easier for them to be the child's friend instead of doing the difficult job of parenting
    4. Irresponsibility - parents exhibit this trait by their willingness to use the government to force others to pay for the education of their children.

    Currently the only solution is home schooling, but it takes a ton of work and the family won't be able to buy a new Yukon every other year with only 1 paycheck.

    People do not understand that raising children is a tremendous blessing and an enormous sacrifice, people have to sacrifice their own aspirations (that Yukon I was talking about) for the good of the children and the family. Many people today don't appreciate the blessing nor do they set aside their own materialistic goals to benefit the family.

    If any of the items I mentioned piss you off it is probably because you fit the description. Look in the mirror, look in your driveway, re-evaluate your involvement in your child's education.
