No need to jail them. That would be expensive for the taxpayers. Just fire them and replace them with people who care more about the children than the union.
I would like to see breakdowns of how dollars earmarked for education are spent. How much does it cost to build and maintain school facilities? What is the teacher’s salary and benefits? How much do books and supplies cost? Is it really necessary to have a computer for every student? And so on. If teacher’s are complaining that there is not enough money for schools, the burden is on them to prove it.
No, you wouldn't. The waste would make you sick. Bring back book (computer) rent!
Education has become a big money making racket. It’s truly unbelievable how much graft and waste is involved. Lots of folks getting rich at the expense of our kids but yet there is never enough money. There will never be enough money for these people, they will just find new ways to waste it in the name of “the children”.
Actually, I would go a different route.
Mandate a graduation test that any tenth-grader can take at the conclusion of the 10th year. You pass...you automatically graduate, and you get one free year of community college within the state, and 30-percent off the second year.
If you get 20-percent of the kids to pass...you can start to lay off teachers within two years, and downsize your teaching staff by at least a thousand across the state.
