There is a difference between lawful and unlawful acts.

What I like about the proposal doesn't even outweigh what I dislike about
it, but the fact that it does not involve money flowing _out_ of the
government to solve a problem ...but the contrary ... and that it is
financially punitive to the irresponsible and not the responsible, is its
appeal to me that convinces me that it may indeed, be worth a shot.

I am thinking that if ****es off enough parents they might get involved in
coming up with a solution that involves parents and teachers that will work.

But, admittedly a long shot at that ... but lawd knows nothing else has
worked.

Exactly.



And none of the arguments I've seen here have come close to dissuading me
from any of the above ... as well meaning as most of the participants are.

With the exception of a few, all the arguments shine the light on why a law
like this has been proposed.
Let's not make excuses for the parents that have the problem children. Let
them speak for them selves.
