Oh well, I can't do much to help them out of their situation other than vote Republican at this point.

Food for thought? I think most people understand that government services aren't free. The only folks who don't seem to understand that services aren't free are those who seem more likely to vote Democratic. Guess what, public education costs money and if the results tend to suck or don't meet our expectations then private education may become the preferred option for our half of the country.
Just like healthcare, education costs money, and private schooling is only less expensive if it's no inclusive. Yes, you can send your bright, well behaved mainstream children to schools that specialize in bright, well behaved and mainstream, but all children need an education, or they become future problems that are only solved by prison -- a much more expensive "management" alternative.
