Well guess what, all the kids that the twisted educational sytem has been pumping out, are becoming parents. There's a big difference between what sounds like a good idea, and what actualy works. If educational reform will take place through the parents, how do you suppose we impliment it? A dumb/drug addicted parent can't teach a kid stuff they don't know themselves, even if they wanted to.


There are crappy charter schools, but that doesn't take away from the fact that there are some that are doing things right. If you watched the movie, you'd know that the good charter schools are completely breaking free of all preconceived notions about education. These schools are taking kids from the ghetto and giving them a better education than many private schools could.

Red, yellow, black, white, from the ghetto or not, children are capable of learning. If a kid doesn't have the blessing of wonderful parents, should they not have the opportunity of a proper education?

I'm not saying it's bad to teach your kids, I think it rocks. I just don't want people to blame parents in order to escape a bigger problem. Giving your own child an education probably will be the best option vs. pumping them through the system. I think it's a travesty when parents would rather spend more time to themselves than make sure their kids get a propper ed.
