Last Stand for Children First Awards State Education Report Cards

Last Stand for Children Also Sucks! :)
Today, Last Stand for Children First was proud to announce it's state report card for education.  Scores were generated by a wide variety of data and sadly, it shows that America's schoolchildren are not being put first and are not getting the education that they deserve.

  • Only 2 states received a B-, and there was only 1 C+
  • Only 9 states received a grade of C or C-
  • 22 States received grades of F
It is time that we begin to put our educational house in order.   The fact that very few states are making the grade shows a systemic failure across the American public education system.  We rated states on the following criteria:

  • The Cost of a Roll of Duct Tape - Duct tape is a versatile and effective teaching tool.
  • Teacher salaries - The less money spent on teachers, the more money can get where it's needed to help
