Yes, it is. But there is a fairly wide disparity in the quality of education and the "school experience" in today's public schools. Some schools where more parents are involved do better than others where parental involvement is limited. (And no fault is ascribed to a parent or parents who have to work - some two jobs - to provide for a family.) It's probably true that inner city schools are more challenged than rural schools or smaller schools in outlying urban areas. Any school can be found to lack one thing or another. Any school. Even home schooling is far from perfect, though it may be "safer". As government revenues decline and cuts are forced across federal and state agencies, less and less monies will be available for public education. It's happening right now. Teachers are getting layoff notices, and school administrators are scrambling to decide which classes or schools will be dropped or closed. And it will get worse before it gets better. A student who puts himself into his school work will find success in school - a public school. And the more his parents can support his efforts, the better he (and his school) will be for it. Also, this individual will usually be able to find a way to a setting of higher education. Matriculation equals money; there's pay value in schooling. Make no mistake about it. We are in serious trouble as a nation when it comes to education. Some angry folks think a few less M.A.Edu.'s will allow for a few more teachers (and - imagine it! - classroom supplies). They may be right. Education is, after all, big business. And sometimes its focus on its customer base - students - is lost. If a parent is not up to speed on what's going on with his or her child's school, now is the time to find out. Right now. Find out by talking to other parents and to teachers as well as to the kids. Get to know a bit about those other parents and about the teachers, about their concerns. Find out who the school administrators are and who is on the school board. Get a line on all the Congressional Representatives (state and federal). Inform yourself and become an advocate. Make a difference. Who's going to do it if not you?
