It is schools that are at the heart of the STG movement and this is the damning evidence as to why they should be given control of "their" shools ASAP but the idiots in charge are fighting as hard as they can possibly to prevent it

If you really dig deep there are four sides here;
1) The powers that be who want control over the EBR school system so they can maintain the union jobs, the administrative jobs etc.
2) People who see the corruption, and who see how poor the overall system is, but their children escape the crap because they qualify to attend magnet schools are in gifted programs and theyir children have done very well in the current system. They say it's better together, but in reality; they aren't together they are in special schools or taking a special curriculum.
3) People that have opted out for private school. They either can afford it or they suck it up and do it because they think that's the best course for them.
4) Those that believe in neighborhood schools, quality programs at each school, and in schools where not just the smart kids get good teacher or good classmates, but where everyone does.

I'm sure some may say this is an over generalization, and I know it is; but what we are seeing for the most part are people reacting to events according to what general camp they are in.

Except in group one (that's where the corruption is), I really don't see anybody who is "wrong". I can understand where magnet school people are coming from. I can understand why people send their kids to private schools, and I can see why people want the chance to start a system where the schools can be good for just about everyone.
