Public education is under growing scrutiny. America spends more per pupil on K-12 education than any other developed nation, yet, despite such taxpayer generosity, American students score at the very bottom, as measured by internationally recognized standards.<span style="color: #0000ff;">

Educators' solutions have focused mainly on spending even more money, but despite this having been done, American children continue to fall further and further behind.

Worse yet, studies show that home schooled students, guided by Internet based curriculum, perform better than those who've actually attended public schools. Educators respond that, home schooled children miss out on the 'rich social environment' public schools provide, but there's no evidence supporting this. In fact, the opposite appears to be true, as today's children have no trouble socializing or interacting, whether in person, on the net, through social media or at physical events.

Has Public Education become an inefficient, but expensive Baby Sitting Service, Day Care Center and Sports venue, a place where government types hang out until gravy train pensions and benefit packages to kick in?

It's time to put Scotland County's children and future first.
