We spend many thousands of taxpayer dollars each year attempting to educate each child in this country. The school administrations and the NEA would like us to believe the above story is an exaggeration or is at best a rare occurrence. I beg to differ. School administrators, board trustees, and law enforcement continue to consider these problems as media opportunities. They set up Task Forces and other contrived and controlled programs so that the media can report how they are solving the problem.
Politicians get in the act to make sure the public sees their phony concern.
However, no one who will be heard by the established media, offers up any real solution to any of these problems. It is not because they are stupid or face overwhelming problems. The answer is big business. Poor performance insures job security and career longevity. Unless the public perceives a problem, additional staff can t be hired, programs can t be created, and taxes can t be raised.
