RE: Education: When will students come first?
Same thing here, we just had teacher strikes, but I am for giving the teachers a raise, but I as a tax payer am against giving more money at least in my state for education. Here it is not a matter of not enough money, but the way they spend it. For example we have way too much admin, and we need to bump the retirement age up. Can't keep paying for 2.5 people for one job. Best part is a business acquaintance's wife is retiring at age 55 from administration, one of the perks is her medical is 100 percent covered until medicare. Well I don't get that with working in the private sector, and she is not the only one gettin that I can guarantee it. Cut the fat, and there would be plenty of money for the KIDS at least in Arizona.
You are so right. There is so much mismanagement of funds. So much money is wasted on things that really don't contribute to the needs of students and classrooms. It is frustrating to see when this happens and then in an effort to save money there end up being cuts to the front line people who the students need so much.
