I understand that. However, it wasn't that my parents could not afford to send us to a private school, but why do that when there are capable teachers to provide the same education? I had dayum good teachers growing up. I admit, this was in another era, but from K-6, 8, my teachers were excellent. Those teachers (primarily all were AA, except 3 or 4) were OLD SCHOOL.
In high school, I went to a magnet school, which was college prepatory, that training stayed with me throughout college and graduate school.
I sometimes feel that this is the reason why the public school has faltered. Why should one care whether or not Shameka or Dre passes? Who cares about accountability because my so and so is not affected.
