On Monday, 6/22, the Supreme Court took the side of an Oregon parents of children with disabilities, ruling that they can claim reimbursement for the cost of private schooling if the public system fails to offer an appropriate program for their child.

A victory for all families who are fed up with the failing public school system. The school gets what it deserves! To be sure, the main concern of US public schools have been “No Child Left Behind,” with the eyes of all teachers being fixed on anyone who are trailing behind the class. Imagine as a nation where this will lead to when public schools ignore those who need to be more challenged and desire to move ahead of the average!

I know of many cases, including those of my children, in which the classes are too easy and the kids get bored, which encourage them to assume a rather slack attitude toward school and study. As my son said he could doze off the class and got an A. To them, school seems nothing but fun, piece of cake, when it should mean education and serious work. It is no exaggeration to say American public schools have failed to prepare the nation for the challenge of the world. That’s why the parents should take an active part if they truly care about their children’s education.

A short and sweet.
