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
