We are packing classes with so many students that even the top students will struggle in this daycare environment. Most States fund daycare and prisons better than they do Title I public schools,WHY?

The zero public spending tea party, the right wing profiteering cooperate cronies, and some short sighted republicans wont be happy with public education until it is dismantled, destroyed or squeezed for profits.
ReplyDeleteAll Americans are responsible, not just the right! The failure of the Senate Super Committee will mean even more cuts to public education. The real problem is the parents of the 50-60 million students receiving a public education are relatively silent. Sean Taylor
