Kenneth Peters says: "You can't just throw money at everything and call it better. Tweaking the system and eliminating the waste is pretty much the basic answer to any business model in existence. And that's what these schools are - or should be. It's my money, too. I don't see improvements made by continuously increasing the budget."
Funny how you NEVER hear this phrase "throw money" when talking about military spending. And we all KNOW how "efficient" the Pentagon is! In short the arguments on education are as much about what is NOT said as what is said. One thing I know for certain. The failures of teachers aren't killing bystanders or making the Merchants of Death richer, now are they?
