We often hear about the dissatisfaction, even worry, for our children in the under producing, over controlling public school systems. Yet, so few of these same parents are doing whatever it takes to provide/protect their children with relief from the injustice.

I really find the excuse, 'I can't afford...' to be one of the most...interesting: Well, there ya go. The real priorities become apparent. We have roomy homes, extra cars, extra toys, land lines, cell phones, desk tops, lap tops, multi-tiered cable, and more clothes in our closets then we can or even want to wear.  Why, we can pay others to do, watch, teach, but we don't seem to understand 'how' to pay ourselves to do many of these things.

I could say we have a problem with stupid and selfish but I'm not sure that's comprehensive enough. Certainly, I disclose my lack PC.
