"...We need to learn to be "open" about all of the issues around educating our youth. No matter what school our child goes to or even if we have no children in our education system, we are all PARENTS of the problems that persist. We need to face facts if we are ever going to move forward. The facts aren't all bad. We do a lot of things right, but we can do better. We must do better." |
