Nothing at all wrong with a parochial school education, just don't take tax dollars away from public education to fund it.
Edited after reading down posts. Affirmative Action hiring of "teachers" has basically destroyed our public schools. They've been dumbed-down to a certain racial-driven outcome, especially in the Southeastern US, but surely inner-cities of our major metropolis's may be the worst. Subpar teachers=subpar students, and it's been epidemic for decades. The NEA is horribly corrupt in propping up the system.
Lyndon Johnson's War On Poverty destroyed the black nuclear family, and the resulting offspring received very little of life's tools needed to learn a quality education. Ebonics comes to mind. Our entire public education system is in shambles save pockets scattered around that do well in spite. No racist intent, but they're almost all in predominantly white populated towns and small cities. The steady decline of our basic cultural values and abandoning of Christian/Godly principles has led to this. No prayer in schools.
Dismantle the Dept of Education, the worst of all the bureaucracies in our govt.
