"Not any longer, buddy. The abysmal performance of the teachers' unions doesn't deserve any more than the already $60 BILLION we're paying per year. And for what? For the pride and prestige of being 48th out of 50 states. Yay."
I heard some idiot school board member from Oakland on the news tonight saying that the reason the 160 kids there couldn't pass the exit exams is they just don't have enough funding. They want to give them their diplomas anyway to be "fair" and to "promote democracy".
It's hard to blame the kids for failing when this kind of fool is what's teaching them.
