My niece attended a public school in Baltimore County, MD -- not the City of Baltimore which is an absolute joke as far as education is concerned, and she never brought home a textbook. Everything was sent home in packets. Her parents finally wized up about public school education and sent her to a Catholic school in the fifth grade where she was issued actual textbooks. Where does all the money go??? Her tuition in Catholic school is about $3,000. I don't know how much Baltimore County spends on each kid, but they didn't give them textbooks. Amazing isn't it?

It really makes me want to barf when I see the ads showing teachers spending their own money to buy pencils and paper for the children. It's probably just as well they don't have the stupid text books since they are filled with half truth and propaganda. But, of course, it is just the other schools that have problems, not the school in my district (sarcasm).
