It's not just public education, its the whole system

In September you can see the movie Waiting for Superman, and hopefully get more engaged with fixing the public education system.

There are links on the Superman sites to forums where you can share ideas with others. Too few, as far as I'm concerned.

Here's a site and discussion that I'd recommend you add to your reading list. This one is titled "It's not Just Public Education, It's the Whole System".

I have the same fear for my own son, as this writer has. I have an even greater fear for the k-12 kids living in high poverty neighborhoods of Chicago who don't have the community supports and education facilities as I do where I live.
