Dear Mr. Wolf, et al.:

I am in agreement with your analysis--and continually witness the inability of students and young adults to speak and use English effectively...If we cannot communicate our ideas, they become virtually worthless.

However, should we adopt a universal voucher system, whereby parents and caretakers can remove their children from an inadequate learning environment--pursuant to their own determination--and then be fully able to obtain a voucher equivalent to the governmental cost for their child's education--to pay a private or parochial school of their choice for same: Just you wait, Henry Higgins, just you wait...

Whatever remains of the Public School system--if anything--shall have to change drastically, as will the corrupt union that is largely responsible for the horrendous loss of learning to our most precious assets.

Cordially,

Nancy Joyce Jancourtz.
