Yes, there should be a crisis!!!

Too many side programs, administrators, doing unnecessary things SUCKING the money away from what it is intended for.

Apply the money DIRECTLY... and we’ll all see just how much waste there is.........

There are real dangers in this growing - in light of what has happened elsewhere.

Unions will stop at no cost to see that they don’t go the way of the dinosaur.

This could become something big

You can’t have it both ways - bankrupt states = big unions.

Trouble ahead

I say let the schools be taught electronicaly through the internet and fire all these idiots.
*******************************************

It’s already being done. There is a great online program called K12. If you read some of the testimonials from parents that are using it now, there are many who had no option but to pull their kids from public schools that were failing. Now many of these kids are doing well and enjoy learning nwo that they have the ability to get the hell out of the zoos that were the schools they were attending.

If we shut public schools, and return the tax savings to the people — there would be PLENTY of money to send your kid to a private school or to homeschool. Many parents work just to pay the taxes ...

I’ve sent my kids to several scruffy, ragged Catholic schools that were running on shoestring budgets, yet managed to educate my kids to the level that they attended top tier colleges. I’m sorry — it DOES NOT take all the money that is spent on public schools to provide a child a decent education.

Sorry for my long winded posts ...I’ve just LIVED this issue my entire life as a parent.
