Don't make the mistake of thinking that all private schools are the same, or that all private schools are better than all public schools. No one is advocating to closure of private schools. All schools, public or private, do not have to be equal in order to be equitable and give everyone a reasonable chance to succeed in life. That's the American Dream!

Life is NEVER fair. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't keep trying to make it so.

Until you put discipline back in schools, things will continue to deteriorate. Also school vouchers.
