Whitman Q&A Pt. 3: Living with schools cuts - Total Buzz - OCRegister.com:
"In this installment, GOP gubernatorial candidate and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman talks about how we may need to live with the scaled-down education funding for now. She says K-12 needs to move more money from administration to the classroom, get more charter schools, and reward the top teachers. And she says 10 percent cuts of higher ed may actually be an asset, although further cuts are hurtful.
I asked if she thought the teachers union was part of the problem, but she wasn’t going there.
