I am Disgusted!!
I am officially disgusted!! One of the charter school groups is offering Starbucks gift cards to all the people who talk to their legislators about pro-charter schools. So I guess now we need to give out gift cards to people who talk about how great our public schools are? When will big money stop trying to tear down public education??? If they have that much money to burn why don't they pay for private school? Why is there this much money being spent to get charter schools? Because people are going to make money off of it and off charter schools. The same money that could be used to actually make our schools better!
