My mother raised three kids ( two of which are very intelligent, my siblings...) on her own with but a ninth grade education and 2-3 jobs. She also put us through 12 years of unassisted private schools. She did this because she wanted us to achieve more than she did by having more education than she did. Her sisters did not apply the same principle to their children and the end result is (2d drum roll) my mother's children are each more successful than their cousins. (I did not say more happy, just more successful!)
Today, we have a large population saying "I didn't go to college and my kids do not need to either" and the kids are saying I'm not going to college so why should I stay in high school!???
This is happeniing across all of the races. My wife, a Teacher for over 12 years, has seen this snowball effect year after year. The government (Local, .State and Federal) refuses to point the finger at parents because the parents are their sheep. It is easier to blame the teachers and reduce their ranks and cut their pay.
Education can cure ignorance, but not stupidity...

What do you think about the fact that a large majority of colleges brainwash the kids into liberalism?
As a matter of fact, I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a name of a Conservative professor.
Happened to 3 of mine. 2 came back into the real world within a few months; one is still in academia, with short, pink-dyed hair, a couple pounds of metal pierced into her skin and refusing to wear lipstick because she believes women do it to make their lips look like vulvas.
My Son voted democrat in '08. In the latter part of '09, he said, "Dad. You were right about liberals. They suck."
