And how many times do we hear when we as political figures are out campaigning or just in our communities from parents who say I care about the schools, I care about the kids? Even people who have no children in the schools, they are willing to invest and contribute and be part of an education community, but they are sick and tired of the wasted dollars in the programs that do not work. They are sick and tired of seeing the government shovel mountains of cash into schools that do not work and will not improve and the legacy of which is children who have a profound disadvantage in entering the workforce and becoming part of our economy. These parents tell us all the time if we would just build them a system that works, they will be a part of it.
