A few do, but Schools have become baby sitters and monoliths to grand 
building plans and not about education of what goes inside.  The local school spend 
huge millions for a new site, buildings, athletic fields "because the old HS 
was too expensive to keep up."  Sure enough, the too expensive to keep up HS 
because the middle school, after another $15 mil bond issue. But the education 
programs didn't improve one bit. Kids still "graduate" unable to read, write, 
spell, add their own time card, count change, little if any knowledge of 
history, civics, and the debate is if they should be allowed to use a calculator on 
state required exams ... for 5th grade!  Maybe YouTube is the next 
"broadcasting."
