It is sad to watch national, state and local funds continuing to pour into a failed education system, and especially so when the funds go those most responsible for the failure...teachers, principals, superintendents and boards of education.
Public school systems across the country, are already drowning in public money, and most of it going to those responsible for the failure that pushed the systems to disaster.
More money, such as that mentioned in this report, merely enables the failures to mire more deeply into disaster. Demanding improvement for each dollar spent is just common sense. We send billions. knowing\ the failure will continue.
Until we stop sending money, we will not get the attention of the only group who could do something about our public school disaster. Stop the money!
It isn't buying anything, except comfort for the bureaucrat failures in education.
Weed out the deadwood and start over!
