I agree with you ArkansasYankee, throwing good money after bad will not solve the problem with our education. Parents don’t want to be parents; they just want to hand them off to the schools ie “government”. All the money just goes to the teachers unions so the dems can have more of a voting bloc and the kids aren’t’ getting any smarter. Just remember people we tax payers pay the salaries, full healthcare benefits for life and their full retirement pension for live. And what do we get in return, kids that graduate and can’t even read or do math.

What are they going to do, throw the seniors out of the nursing homes? And schools? How much money has been thrown at education the last couple of decades? And where do we rank in education in reference to the rest of the world? Money isn't the answer obviously. All the money in the world isn't going to fix what's wrong with our education system.

Not to worry, with the new control by the GOP, this budget and the all of the progress this state has made in education will be undone in one fell swoop!
