"All 23 members of the graduating class are attending college next year"
The Federal Government has been involved in public education formally since 1965 with Title I, the sacred cow of modern public education in America. Various programs such as a 1000 Points of Light, Goals 2000, School-to-Work and now No Child Left Behind have left the public schools struggling to meet a goal of graduating 80% from the 12th grade. For the amount of money that is spent per child the tax payers deserve better.
However, as history continues to be rewritten daily and the politically correct society that dominates the direction of our culture continues to push public eduction further and further away from many of the things that made us what we are as a Nation and a People I doubt that things will change anytime soon.
