Absolutely incredible when the powers that be sit there and wonder why Georgia is 50th (though we might have moved up to 49th...) in the country in terms of PreK-12th grade education.
Thankfully I no longer have a kid in the school system and even when I did he was in a charter school. I've known parents who would rather live in a 1 BR apartment and send their kids to private or charter schools here than send them to public school and home schooling is HUGE in GA. Wonder why?
Though in all fairness, it was merely a proposal and I predict it will never be passed. But it does show you how screwed up the great minds are who are running the show.
And I won't even get into the grade inflation that goes on so sub par kids can get the lottery sponsored college scholarship..............after all, that's so much easier than actually educatiing them.....:angry:
edited to make corrections so it didn't look like I received most of MY education here in GA :P
