It Begins.

They can educate their children at home, with luke and mark.  Their tax dollars will still go to providing an actual education in public schools.  If they want their kids to read good and do other things, they can send their kids to a real school.  

There we go, "school choice" - as in, assholes can choose not to educate their children if they want to..and they desperately want to.

Maybe competition among the public schools might actually lead to some decent schools that actually give our kids a good education.  That would be nice for a change.

I'll bet funding them properly would do much more good. The public education system, outside a few, select, wealthy community schools don't have to money for up to date text books let alone quality teachers, proper maintenance and new school buildings when necessary. That could easily be solved if our government wasn't enthralled with the idea of having the biggest, most bad-assed military on the block.

Maybe we should tell the Air Force they should host bake sales for that new bomber instead of making the public school kids run fund-raisers for text books and smart boards. I'm betting you could put a brand new smart board in every single public classroom in the country just with the cost over-runs on the fucking F-35.
