But it goes still to ignorant people in the system with backwards ideas about which child merits attention and which child "won't make it anyway". Such a system rewards failure and makes the bad teachers more powerful and more dangerous.<BR/><BR/>My son's middle school has a few PTO officers and other priveleged parents that have formed a clique. Their children enjoy all the fruits of my taxes that I wish my child could enjoy.<BR/><BR/>Why do I have to watch graduation ceremonies with their children paraded past my son as superior? This just causes bitterness and hurt feelings that children are not equipped to handle. The hurt causes the huge drop out rate in Georgia, I do suspect, a lot of times.<BR/><BR/>Even if a few bigwigs were left out of their yearly bonus bonanza, would it not be better to have more equalized systems where all children can learn and excel?<BR/><BR/>JeanJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466306308605179071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953813246794013742.post-32248880381592562292009-04-10T16:20:00.000-07:002009-04-10T16:20:00.000-07:00I enjoyed Mr. Scafidi's article very much.

I wish I could get just half of the money that goes into the public school system for my son.<BR/><BR/>That would pay for a nice private school education.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466306308605179071noreply@blogger.com
