Letters to the Editor...
Parent Accountability

I agree with George. If the kid doesn't
make the grade because he's not doing his
job, by all means do not promote him. But
change the system so that the school
district can charge the parents for the
kids' second year in a grade. In my
district, it costs taxpayers approximately
$7000 per student per year. Incentives for
families of successful students is a great
idea too. It rewards competence and
effort. Also-- kids under 18 who are
either not enrolled in high school and
passing, or do not have a diploma don't get
a drivers' license.
