Every President since W has espoused school choice as the solution to failing schools. We already have school choice; it's just limited to the teaching staff, and look what happens -- the schools with the most brown kids fail and their parents don't avail themselves of "the options."

that's bullshit elitist crap. Teacher reassignment can be done, the effette liberal elitists don't have the balls to stand up to the teachers' unions. congrats.

Sounds to me like you optimized for the wrong variable, and now you want to compare your plight with an inner-city family's? 'Cause otherwise, you're make an argument that "public schools" suck because somebody else's school does, which is a bit like saying cars are shitty because some people are still driving beaters.

Not sure if you used search for my previous posts, but my schools are the worst in Seattle, which is inarguably a failed system. I've given up on whining about that specifically as it relates to me as I am happy to have found independent schools with a premium value and good ROI (and one where the parents throw good parties), as I know the failed Seattle Schools are just a symptom of far leftist tree hugger rule. For now, I am switching to Apple products in protest of the MicroSoft douchies oppressive governance here.
Also, in the meantime, by the by, I am trying to decide whether to move somewhere in the US or leave altogether.
