Leopard,

Yea you did make some assumptions.

I do firmly believe that it is good for as many children as possible to be taught to read. Aside from just caring about children I think it makes for a stronger society.

I am not sure where the impression

Maybe because you think the government system too costly? It is. I agree. I would never recommend it if it were not already there. The point I keep trying to make is that I would like to see something (not necessarily a system or a model, just a plan and the preparedness to put that plan into place) there to replace it before we eliminate it. But definately not without regard to cost.

I was really not ready for this one.

It seems the population of this thread hate the system so much that they can't read past anyone suggesting it be supported in any way.

I also think saying to be used "against" dysfunctional families is just a negative spin on saying "for" the children of dysfunctional families.

But no I do NOT think compulsary school should be enforced on those families. I would settle for a periodic check whether governmental or private. Whether federal or community based.

All I would ask is some check system and some plan to aid the children who are failing.

I also would disagree with just telling families they are on there own all of a sudden but since you alredy stated that you believed in a phasing period I think we are in agreement there already.
