At the risk of heresy, but hoping for thoughtful discussion: Philadelphia's been trying to fix its schools for a long time and failing. Near as I can tell, some of the problem is money, some of the problem is political, and some of the problem is cultural (parents who don't provide a proper environment for their kids to learn).
While I'm not in favor generally for state control, why do we necessarily believe the state is going to do worse? We've done a pretty miserable job ourselves. Note, for example, that the state took oversight of our finances a few years back, and it was just the kick we needed to get our own house in order. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
