Missouri Education Watchdog: Local Control is Another Name for Special Interest Driven Education Policy

Missouri Education Watchdog: Local Control is Another Name for Special Interest Driven Education Policy:


Local Control is Another Name for Special Interest Driven Education Policy

You pay for it.  You send your children. You have no decision making abilities on how your money is spent or what is taught....but private foundations sure do.
Does your state worry about funding Common Core?  My state should.  It's estimated to cost Missouri $350 Million.  As Missouri can't even fund its basic educational formula, it's a mystery on how it will come up with this funding for the mandates.
New Jersey figured out how to fund turnaround strategies mandated in this educational reform.  Just have a private foundation fund the mandates.  Why have the taxpayers pay for something they didn't vote
