Wouldn't vouchers fulfill the "faith based initiative" philosophy of the Prez?
gaij: One of the reasons what you say re: "They have too much to say" is so true is the abdication of responsibility on the part of many parents who just "go along" or do not, because of lack of interest or simple inability do not involve themselves.And, the willingness of the unions to take advantage of this,
Case in point...One school district that I monitored submitted a budget that included a considerable increase. The board cut the requested increase but not totally, so there was still increased funding. The School Superintendent and the Union went public to the media and screamed that their budget was being cut. Parents wrote letters to the school board, letter to the editor, some recommending violence. Interestingly, the majority of the teaching staff refused to get involved. In 27 years of fiscal monitoring of public entities, I saw one "strike" by teachers, and that was in a district that had not received any increase in over five years.
In all of the "public sector", schools are the least understood and most emotional in nature.
