Subject: I put below why I don't think the voucher system will work. Agree on mentoring. A lot of kids are inspired by one good teacher or role model. My only point above was that not all parents are aware of how important education is. They've been to the same crappy schools their kids go to where no one seems to care. A lot of a child's world is where they live. They see the opportunities available in their world.
In reply to: CC 's message, "Tf, that is exactly my point. A lot of it depends on the parents. The government cannot force parents to be good parents. It is up to the parents, and that is why I do think so many kids do so poorly academically. The only other thing I can think for other people to help is the mentoring program. The voucher system will not work, unless those who useit really want to take advantage of it." on 11:22:51 04/30/02 Tue
