So. Damn.True. OH, the snobbery in education and the damage they have done with it!

I used to wish I could get my hands around the throat of the person that tied property taxes to funding the schools. The smart states have managed to pool the funds and bring some fairness to that situation.

Parents and students, you lose. Teachers, your time has come, because your colleagues have quit in droves and your unions are getting stronger---time to get some fair wages.

Tech has up-ended everything. I believe it will be a force for good in this area, eventually. A positive effect is every child will want to be on the internet. They will be reading and writing all the time, despite the value of the content. Because of the wide range of content, school is as important as it has ever been.

It shouldn't be a competition. Kids suffering, whether at home or homeless, deserve a chance to thrive too.
