Badmouthing Public Schools When You Have no other Argument
Washington Policy Center Doesn't Fool Anyone
Well, the folks over at the Washington Policy Center don't think so. And that's fine. But man, do they swing waaay too far over the line in their assessment of the current state of public schools. To wit:
Asking your state legislator for a so-called Park Savings Account makes perfect sense if the following conditions exist
Well, sure the first one doesn't line up perfectly but that really wasn't the point.
- The law says your child must spend at least six hours every weekday at a public park.
- The park she must attend is assigned by local officials, based on your zip code.
- The park in your zip-code is rat-infested, overgrown, unmaintained and generally neglected.
- The staff at the park is ineffective and can’t be fired.
- The Parks Union controls the Parks Management Board, and uses politics to block any real improvements.
- Staff membership in the Parks Union is mandatory and funded by tax money taken from staff paychecks.
