that you lack even a basic understanding of it. Your preceding post is a prime example of what I'm talking about.
"schools are used too much as free child care by too many irresponsible parents"This one little statement is all over the place. You do know that children are compelled by law to attend school and that parents can be held criminally liable for a child's truancy, right? You understand that attendance is one of if not the main factor determining scholastic success, right? You understand that many school budgets are based on attendance, right? I could go on and on. Getting your kid to school and keeping him/her there is half the battle. For you to suggest that parents are irresponsible for fulfilling that responsibility is ignorant and... ...well, irresponsible.
