<p>After reading through the pages of this thread 2 things stand out for me which are getting lost. One is that even in many “toney” surburban dustricts the public schools are failing quite miserably. Hence the loads of recent college grads either unemployed or under employed. Secondly, the task of fixing inner city schools has been ongoing since the 60’s and has been un utter and nearly complete failure. At what point do all those involved admit that the systems is just not working and throwing more money into a broken system won’t help.</p>
