Red Alert: Public Schools Waste $$$
A recent article by by ABC commentator John Stossel solved the crisis in public education. Stossel maintains that public schools should stop crying poverty, that they are, in fact, rolling in dough and throw money out the window quicker than President Bush can mis-pronounce "nuclear." He says schools should buy more textbooks and spend less money on "extras" like computers and foreign language programs. Stimulating kids' minds through hands-on experiences be damned! Let's teach everyone by rote to increase those test scores which are a true reflection of what kids know and how they learn. I think I can say with a fair amount of cetainity that Stossel has probably spent 1 hour or less in a k-12 classroom in the past 15 years.
