Private schools will just kick little johnnies disruptive ass out. Bring back the concept of the sweathogs, feed em and lock them up for the day and teach the rest of the kids. thanx, bill ex sweathog Our bureaucracy and our laws have turned the world into a clean, safe work camp.

Since the parents are paying for the schooling directly, they are more likely to be invovled in the child's education and progress in that school Jay O'Connor "Going places unmapped to do things unplanned to people unsuspecting"

The local large school district has, I think, the second highest spending per capita than any other school system in the state - yet produces pathetic graduation rates and test scores. Clearly there are other factors involved. And it isn't even an inner city/suburban question - yes, Marva Collins founded a private school, but in working with public schools in some of the seediest areas of Chicago has led those schools to significant improvements in math and reading skills. She's able to take some of the supposedly least teachable kids and teach them. French Zombies are zapping me with lasers!
