Why should I expect some action from the schools? After all the kids are there to learn, not exercise, most jobs don't require that you be fit.

Phy. ed should be mandatory.
But, the parents are the problem. If they stood up to the crap going on at the schools it would be changed. |

You mean sue? Which would mean the taxpayers are suing themselves, in addition, to paying for their own lawyers.
This is why there should be a voting process on all proposed changes in schools.
I think the process is flawed.
Thoughts?

How does attending private school alleviate the burden of paying for Public Schools? No matter where you educate your children, you MUST pay for Public Schools.
Imagine if you bought your groceries at Wal-Mart and consistently got spoiled food, encountered employees who were semi-competent at best, who allowed other customers to beat you down, refused to remove customers who constantly hindered your ability to shop, and generally did an all-around piss-poor job...but when you decided to try another grocery store, you were told you still had to pay for groceries at Wal-Mart, no matter where else you shopped.
Now imagine that Wal-Mart had laws protecting those demands, and had a nationwide network of armed enforcers to make sure you paid.
Is food less of a basic need than education? We don't tolerate such practices with food, clothing, shelter...all of which are far more necessary for basic survival than Education.
So, why are we not only expected to tolerate it, but if we dare speak against the schools, we're vilified, stereotyped, and treated as if we hated children or were inbred, ignorant right-wing hillbillies* who pray for math instead of teaching it?
Why can't at least some of us be genuinely involved parents who want the best education for their kids without the bumbling idiocy of Government interfering in our child's lives? We know better than to trust the Government's decisions about everything else; we know they're too incompetent to handle money, power, law, responsibility...why would we even DREAM of trusting them with our children? And why is it such a horrible stereotype for those of us who DON'T entrust our kids to anyone but ourselves?

The majority of the parents in my kids school don't care. Plain and simple. We do care, thus the gov't can double dip from our taxes and I'll still send them to private school. |

No it wouldn't, you can't change the government without revolution. No revolution equals no change
