There's no such thing as a non performing School. It's the Parent's that are non performing. What's the difference between Sunset Park and Myrtle Grove? New Hanover High and Ashley? The Teachers? The Books,the weather? It's the PARENTS or lack there of. Period! You don't need money to get a fair education. That's Bull&(**^%$. We keep pumping grant money into these districts and the drop-out rates for the most part go up!!! Nobody has the gut's to put there finger on the REAL problem. Here's an idea...Parents of Students who fall below a minimum grade acceptance level are sent a notice. If the grades do not improve, their income is garnished with the funds deposited in a district account earning interest until grades improve. If the Child drops out, the money is "donated" to the School District.
ENOUGH!!!
