That's where the best example of that is. Under that model, it follows that as long as you're able to buy a house in an affluent neighborhood that you're guaranteed a quality public education. The model that we're talking about offers quality public education opportunities that are not based on where you live, nor are they based on the assumption of what your affluence is. But they continue to be based, maybe even more based, on parents being able to make good decisions on where to seek quality education. They're there now.
Public schools are no different than society as a whole.
We're always going to suffer when we've got parents who aren't caring about their children or their own lives. I'm not willing to buy that. That gets back to what I'm saying about the re-emergence of democracies in our schools. We've got parents out there on Edisto Island who don't have the options to participate in a lot of things democratically, and as a result of that, maybe that's why they don't go to the polls either. But if the schoolhouse can begin allowing them to participate - have conversations, think thoughtfully about what the kids need, I think things are going to begin to get better.
