As a nation we seem to be unable to resolve a number of crises begging us to
discipline ourselves, as individuals and as a common people.
So should we abandon our citizenship? Dismantle the Union and adopt a
state, county or city that conforms to our ideals?
Yes, our public schools are coming up short, but not as short as some, with
what I suspect is an agenda beyond the obvious, would have us believe. I
have two kids who are recent graduates and I've seen some of the problems up
close. (And BY THE WAY (BTW) I graduated from a private high school many
years ago that also had it's share of shortcomings.)
But let us not, in haste, lay the blame at the feet of administrators or
boards or anyone else without first looking into the mirror and asking "What
else could I do to help fix it?"
