At $480.00 per student, paid over a five year period, this education bill is the largest ever. If you think 96 bucks a year filtered through bureaucrats will make a difference, you are sadly mistaken.

What is not mentioned is how much per student this education bill will cost your school district to implement. I dare say that textbooks, curriculum, smaller classrooms, teachers, and teacher's unions will spend far more than 96 dollars a year to assure their schools qualify for the federal endowment.

This is a Democrat's best possible plan for education. Spend more at the federal level than ever before, require local goverments to spend more to grab the dangling carrot, and then grab more control and spend more money after the paltry sum changes nothing.

But it is OK! This time the Republicans really, really care about education! Strategery!!

Scottie, I'm not particularly into teachers' unions, but smaller classrooms, that's a MUST.
