The local property tax, the the major funding source for public education, has always been a poor proxy for a "quality education."
The Nation continues "at risk" and the pols continue to just fiddle away.
And, now for generations of children (our real future), they will never get the time back.
Parents need to take their children out of public schools. Competition will force improvement, if that's possible. The NEA doesn't give a damn about kids and education. The NEA cares about collecting dues, keeping their union members happy and supporting Democratic politicans and activist judges. It sounds like the NEA and the NAACP are exchanging notes on their election year strategy. They won't accept any blame for poor performance, they will embrace it lovingly as an election year club.
Perhaps. I hope so. Another step in the right direction (IMO) would be the elimination of mandatory attendance for those over say 13 or 14.
Except the NAACP was against them. I wish people would stop treating this band of racists with any degree of respect.
