SO these families that live in ClayCo are going to have to spend the extra money to send their kids to Fayette, Henry or Fulton County schools. And I know the parents of those schools can't be happy about that prospect. No school system in GA has much criminal activity that Clayton. Later, QD.
There is a lot of truth in that statement. If no other school system has as much crime. Is it the school's fault or the parents of these kids? Maybe if the school were teaching kids instead of policing them the scores would be better. Now in order to lose their accreditation they have to fail a couple years in a row. Which they have. But if the parents haven't given a sh*t so far (I know that's a general statement and yes there are exceptions) why are they going to now? Kids will be away from home longer (bus routes) = free babysitter. The public school system was origionally designed to teach indigent children (slaves) it was never intended to become the behemoth it is now. Name me one thing the government does better than the private sector. The government that cannot do anything quickly or efficiently is teaching everyone's kids. So spending more of our money to ship the kids farther is no problem for them, so these kids can get a "quality" governement education.
