The nation's public schools are falling under severe financial stress as states slash education spending and drain federal stimulus money that staved off deep classroom cuts and widespread job losses.

But, interestingly enough, the education UNIONS aren't feeling any sort of financial pinch at all.

My suggestions: Cut 50% of all administrative staff from the top down, eliminate ESL classes, cut the ridiculous insurance benefits, give vouchers to parents so they can send their children to good schools, eliminate free breakfasts and lunches - parents can pack their kiddos lunch and feed them breakfast at home, eliminate all district office personnel except for one top administrator, one secretary and one person to coordinate supply purchasing, eliminate all administrative and board travel and expense accounts, eliminate all school district vehicles paid for by taxpayers.
