This Makes Sense

I seriously do not get what is going on with our state government. On the one hand, we are supposed to be getting all students to be better, stronger, faster and on the other - hey, let's cut education funds. I hope that doesn't happen because we are seriously underfunded already. We have already cut $11 million out of our district budget and if something doesn't change, we will be cutting more. How are you supposed to give students a great education when all you do is figure out what else can be thrown out the door?

In other news: California now ranks 47th in spending per student.

There's such a dichotomy it's frightening. Doesn't anyone see the giant gaping void between "We need better educated people to do the math and sciences we need" and "do it with no money"?
