Bill Gates: How state budgets are breaking US schools…
Here at World Spinner we are debating the same thing……
Nice. Concise. Would be interesting to look further into the shell game portion of the state budgets.
Back in Colorado, and I assume in other states, funding for education was the first to be cut. That was what really bothered me, that our politicians were more than willing to cut precious money from K-12 and higher education, but then those same politicians would vote themselves a pay raise.
