Calif. Parents Take Over Failing Schools

California's "Parent Trigger Law" allows a majority of parents to order a school to change staff, become a charter or shut down. As Ben Tracy reports, it's now being implemented for the first time.

When many of today's kids graduate from high school, they are left at a competitive disadvantage without being taught that their speech is all-important. Too often, they will speak using "street" or vernacular language and accents. This handicaps them greatly; and this is totally ignored by the school system. Clear enunciation and articulate speech is required for success. Perhaps many are afraid to say something about this problem due to "political correctness", and that must end now.

Judging by the title, I must say it's about time parents take responsibility for their kids..

Can't wait for bad to get better? What kind of virtue is that? I think the parents mean that they can't wait until bad gets worst.

We send our kids to school to get an education, and we depend on the school to make sure they get that education. Well! the problem is, the school depends on the parents to do the job which they should be doing.

Our GOV indoctrination of kids in schools is disgusting! Disgusting that we allow our GOV to form the generation into compliance. Non thinking individuals!
