Here is an article summarizing OBama's grant plan for education.
I have a better idea. What if the money was given to the schools that needed it directly? Then they could fix up buildings, hire more staff, buy new books and other aids and possibly catch up with the funding the suburban schools get.
Wait, that wouldn't make sense.
It saddens me that the Democrats are just following along the Republican trail as far as education is concerned. Its not going to help. Not in the long run.
The brilliant thing is this is aimed at "stopping dropping out" but most of the money is headed to high school kids, some to junior high.
That's great, but the seeds of eventual dropping out are usually planted much earlier than even the 6th grade.
Can you tell I've been reading a bit on the issues and inequities of the American Education System lately?
Oh, and notice how I'm not saying "its cause the teachers suck!"
