If schools are in such dismal states of disrepair that they cannot keep up
with the same standards EVERY other school keeps up with, the state will
intervene and take over the school district.  Who else will go into Camden
or Trenton NJ to teach their kids?  Who else will go into Chester PA school
district, ranked number 501 out of our 501 school districts?  Who better
than the state?


i think some of the demonstration accross the nation (i'll point to
milwalkee) have shown that competition for the students with the $$$
following the students to be a more viable option than the state taking over
a failing school. i know this is going to get lots of disagreements, but,
that is my opinion.
