Stop shoveling money to ineffective schools and start promoting online education for all grade levels. Promote real educational choice for parents as well, and legitimize homschooling. Out of work parents can be a great benefit to society even when they are unemployed, by homeschooling their children.
To go a step further allow school vouchers for any child to recieve their education. Let the public schools compete for those dollars and see how good our education gets overnight. Since the unions took over CA education has slipped from #1 in this country to #50 and in a country that has slipped from #1 worldwide to #37. AND THEY STILL WANT MORE.
May of us in Freeper land live in communities with a District Hospital that is partially supported by tax dollars. How good do you believe health would be at those institutions if everyone in the community HAD to get their healthcare only at that hospital. You would get big salaries . You would get big majestic building but no one would be competing for your business.
