Don't blame the schools, blame the Teachers and their "Teacher's Union."
For New Parents: Always enroll your child at a Charter Public School. The difference between are chartered school and a non-chartered is the Union. Chartered schools do not allow their teachers to be protected by Unions meaning the teachers must teach properly in order to keep their job.

As a generality I do think that tv and video games are harming our children badly by shortening their attention spans and encouraging a sense of instant gratification.

Seems unfair that students be destined to a life of abject poverty because the education system which is one of the only keys to a successful life has failed them.

right...it's the education system...the parents should be crackin' a belt across their little butts, take the cell phone away, the TV, and put a private password on their computer. plus, they are grounded until they get a note from the teacher that their studies, along with their homework, has improved.
