In reply to the discussion: Dear Mrs. Romney, SHUT THE HELL UP [View all]riderinthestorm

direct, firsthand experienced with public schools? How would you have the first inkling of what the problems are and how to fix those problems for a "proper" education? You grew up wealthy, privileged and attending expensive private schools as did your husband and children. Are ANY of your current family members attending a public school?
