Cut out all the bureaucrat administrators from raliegh, all the paper pushers that are only around b/c of NCLB. We all know that whole bill was a complete failure. Great idea in principle but totally asinine in practice. All it did was create more jobs for people to assess schools, instead of funding schools with better training, supplies, technology, tutors, etc..
The academic suits that make 70k a year for attending meetings, philosophizing, observing schools, and scaring the s*** out of real educators during their visits, should be the ones who find themselves without a job this year. Let the principal and administrators of each school be responsible for how it spends it's share of the money. That's the problem with public schools is that someone who lives 200 miles away ends up making decisions that affect every school system, and every school system is so different, and has different needs. We need to limit how much the special interest politicians in Raleigh can affect our schools.
