PHIL LOSSIFER
Mr. Ford's article was interestin', except his premise that increased state fundin' will help reduce local tax levies is wrong! Monies come from a common pot: the taxpayers. Regardless of it's source, state or local levies, taxes over the years haven't decreased, but rise each year through addendums by findin' other ways t' raise money. Money received from other sources is diluted through administrative costs. After forty years of hearin', readin', an' talkin' 'bout education it's apparent we are not receivin' much of a bang fer our buck.

Money won't solve the problem of compartmentalizin' children for socio-economic, or personal pique. Nor will it solve discipline problems whose responsibility lies first with parents an' secondarily with institutions responsible for youth's education. Undisciplined societies cain't survive, an' current method of so-called discipline doesn't teach children for HKU (Hard Knocks University) when they graduate. Responsibility t' society is a primary thrust, not do yer own thing at the expense of ever'one else...[Read full story]
