	Alright, I agree with all that has been said but when I try to
	get help from the local school district they throw up smoke-screens
	and point at improved scores (over last year).  If pressed, they
	become defensive and want to blame me (the parent).  There is such
	a "protect our bureaucracy" attitude that they called me "intolerate"
	because I wanted to know what they would do about the general
	state of affairs.  Either these people are lying through there
	teeth or they aren't smart enough to see (I don't know which)
	that they contradict themselves with every defense.  They are
	quite happy to continue as usual and would rather go to court
	to fight the law than to attempt real improvement.  Tell me
	something that I can do that will shake them into wanting to
	do what's right instead of what's easy.  If I provide an address
	for the school district, can I get 100 or so people to send
	letters expressing their concern for the state of affairs?  Lots
	of public pressure is the only thing that I can think of that
	could break through their stagnation.
