Garfield Heights Parents Demand Answers from School Board Over Cuts
http://www.fox8.com/news/wjw-garfield-heights-parents-question-school-board-txt,0,1684869.story

“The first lady is always talking about get moving, and physical education is so important to our kids. We have so many obese kids and now that’s one of the things you are looking at cutting!” said Katrina Hairston-Taylor, a concerned parent.

Due to the shortened day, students who qualify for free lunches will get those lunches at the end of the day in a brown bagged lunch to go.

“It’s getting to the point where we might just have to take our kids academic future in our own hands. There are other choices. But we believe the Garfield Heights School system and we love this community,” said Mike Sajovie, a parent.

School officials hope residents take that belief to the polls in March, for another levy.

Why vote to give them more money? None of it ever trickles down to the classroom. It will be sucked off by the Teacher's union thugs and the bloated administration bureaucracy. Education vouchers are the answer. Give the parents CHOICE!

What an odd collection of reactions...

You'd think the parents and the voters were two totally different groups of people -- one somehow acting against the others' interest.

And you'd think the parents themselves would accept some responsibility for their childrens' obesity...and their education.

But, nooooooooooo, it's the voters' fault. And the school is sole responsible for raising and educating the kid.

“The first lady is always talking about get moving,”

Which she’ll be getting to do in January of 2013.

How distressing is that, taking responsibility for your own kids...
