Fix the city schools (and there are a host of reasons why this never happens) and people will be much more likely to want to live in the city.
Expand please. I'd like to know what you think...
Since I bailed out twenty five years ago, I'm no longer intimately involved in the city school problem. It does appear that the school board either has no clue what to do or are too busy pursuing personal agendas to care. It's unlikely that impetus will come from the top, since St. Louis city is pretty much 100% Democrat. Meaning that anyone that can appease the party insiders will be rubber stamped by the city voters as long as they have a D by their name. That kind of situation doesn't lead to thoughtful reformers, but to crooks and con men gaining power. |
