As opposed to what?  Screwing up your kid's life by keeping him in
a bad school?  So far, I haven't heard any alternatives proposed.
How will *you* fix the schools?  Some of the problems you need to
address include illiterate graduates, people who can't do simple
arithmetic in high school, and students being shot dead in hallways.

Besides, that's only half the argument.  Haven't you been
paying attention?
