But if the family, friends, and community of the child does not support the success of the child, then, no amount of government intervention can guarantee success.  Carry on.  One of my best friends' wife is a state recognized school teacher, and she herself gave up on the system.  Anything government puts its fingers in is destined for failure.  I donated lots of money my first go round.....never again.</p></blockquote><p></p>
