Making Teaching More Affordable

I agree with the comment above mine! It&#39;s about time we as a common people start becoming educated &amp; want to be informed on what&#39;s going on with the future of our children and what&#39;s going on in the education system and how to better it. I&#39;m glad the movie waiting on superman open the doors to discussion and exposed the truth about Americas school system and some schools. I will definitely pass the word on. It takes a village to raise a child. Help your fellow man and educate them on how to be a better parent to their child, don&#39;t be afraid of their reaction you may start something beautiful. LOVE And positive ENCOURAGEMENT to all young and old.
