Where's Your Head At?

So remember all that extra cash the state of Ohio has lying around? Well, we better hope it's going to education because the new state budget isn't going to help out our schools in the slightest.

The Republican-controlled Ohio legislature approved a two-year, $51.2 billion budget Tuesday that did nothing to restore cuts that were made to public schools in the last two years.

Instead, the biennial budget continues to underfund several programs for traditional public schools and allows the growth in publicly funded, privately run charter schools to continue.

Charter-school growth has been the primary cause of budget shortfalls in the last two years.

Two letters: B.S. Public schools aren't going to fix themselves; they need the state to step up and do the right thing and ensure that all our kids are getting a good education. It just seems so common-sense to me. I guess that's why I'm not a politician.
