And a nation that once prized education - that was among the first to
provide basic schooling to all its children - is now cutting back.
Teachers are being laid off; programs are being canceled; in Hawaii, the
school year itself is being drastically shortened. And all signs point
to even more cuts ahead.

This is just another case of "Close the Washington Monument"
posturing. Why don't the school boards cut administrative costs?
Most of these boards spend more than half the money they take from the
taxpayer outside of the classroom.
I do agree we don't pay enough taxes to maintain the government we
have but I also agree with those who say the government is not very
efficient with the money we give them and when they make cuts they cut
the most critical and visible programs to make the point that they
want more money.

Or cut computers. I don't know how we made it through math and English without a
take-home laptop funded by the schools. The amount of money wasted on
'technology' in the schools is staggering.
