[Platt] Because it's a pipe dream. [Krimel] That's a pretty cynical take on programs that appear to have garnered lots of support from widely divergent sectors of society. I won't waste time asking why you think so; I will just accept that it lies concealed in your individual interpretation of Lila somewhere. > [Platt] > To see the fallacy of the "lack of funding" cry, check the cost-per-pupil > in the Washington, D.C. school system and the results. > > [Krimel] > Certainly Washington, D.C. schools face challenges other districts do not. > This hardly an indictment of the whole public school system. [Platt] Not an indictment, an indication that throwing money at the problem isn't the solution. [Krimel] Well I don't know much about Washington, DC schools problems. Those are local problems and as I said are irrelevant, unless you care to state how withholding funds would improve the schools there.
