It's obvious to many of us why the Dudley graduation rates are so low: We don't spend enough money on education in Guilford County. What is it now, about $10,000 per student? How can we expect these folks to read at an eighth-grade level when they graduate?
Hey, look on the bright side - not everything is down. Crime is up 5.2 percent in the North Carolina public schools. When I was in high school they didn't have to report crime statistics, and almost everyone graduated, and we could actually read our diplomas. Of course, we weren't blessed with diversity, as are today's left-wing indoctrination camps.
We are outraged by failed and failing policies in Iraq, and many demand our withdrawal, but we continue with failed and failing policies in our public schools with demands for more money, which thus far hasn't worked.
Maybe we need a bipartisan FSSG (Failing Schools Study Group) to make recommendations to get us out of these failed and failing schools. It would be comprised of five liberal Democrats and five moderate (liberal) Republicans. It 's the only hope for our schools, except, of course, for increasing spending. I vote for withdrawal.
