Grant you that schools are a government related problem, although I would add as a major factor the disitintegration of families and neihborhoods as equally as significant.

You are not wrong Phil, you are still putting your faith in the power of the government and many others have been hurt by that same government.

Sandy, I have no idea what freedom I am keeping you from, but if you tell I will rectify it. And pardon me, but I think what I write exhbits a satisfactory level of intelligence. Possibly I am wrong.
