Some people just refuse to listen to reason. You get what you pay for never was more applicable than in education. Crying about standards, crying about poor teaching, crying about 'my kid didn't get a medal for cup-o-dirt science fair project, crying about teachers who don't teach or don't care.
My suggestion is think about your kids education next time you enter the voting booth.
Not necessarily to you, but the goofballs on this board.
