How is adding teachers to teach children a BAD thing, especially when I surmise either the State of New York or the Federal Goverment was footing the bill for the increase(in an attempt to lower class size)?
Adding sorry sap bureaucrats that don't do not teach on the front lines is one thing, but usually, but 15,000 more teachers to actually teach kids and lower class sizes while paid by someone else, is not an awful thing in the grand scheme of things.
Perhaps Rudy should have said, "nah, let there be a 35:1 student:teacher ratio. We don't want the same funds that are also available to Peoira, Illinois or Schenectedy, New York." That'd be a really responsible thing for a mayor to do.
If you think that adding 15,000 more teachers is fiscally conservative, maybe you're more liberal than you realize.
Ever wonder what they did BEFORE the addition of the 15,000 teachers?
When I went to school...., well never mind, you probably heard that one before.
I guess you're a Republican first, while I'm a conservative first, which is why we disagree.
