i am frustrated on all fronts by our lack of investment in our children. i think that there is a constant tension between those that focus on the present and those that focus on the future. looking at the difference between what we spend on weapon vs what we spend on school lunches makes clear what kind of choices we are making.

my kid's teachers never, ever felt that way. nor did the principal, even tho we knocked heads many times. most of them agreed with me about what was wrong with the system, INCLUDING the difficulty of getting rid of bad teachers.
