How much money does it cost to run the Department of Education?
Could the schools use that money , even some of that money, for educational purposes? Department and of ED has as much to blame, for their bloated system as anyone.
Do you think inner city kids, for example,could benefit from computers, clean schools and highly paid and highly educated teachers?
I think our tax money could be put to better use,and I think the kids should be the ones who benefit from our tax money.
The Department of Ed. does see it that way.

Money is not the answer to saving schools. I always thought you could teach grades 1 thru 12 by handing out a newspaper to each kid and using it to teach.
Math, economics, political science, social studies, sports, and even art class and theatre(the correct spelling).
The computer case is highly overbitched. It's a waste of money and a duplicate cost, since most kids have a computer at home anyhoo.
Yep! In my opinion the schools should toss the $600 a copy text books with more color pictures than text and just use the local newspaper to teach from.
