Not sure we can . . .
Sure we can, if we're willing to say no to the leaches on the system. But too many politicians can only get reelected by giving them money they take from someone else. The kids only get used as a bargaining chip after they shuffle that money off to guarantee their next vote. Need more money...need more money. NO. Just need to stop giving it away for votes. At over $10,000 per year per kid in most jurisdictions, there should be PLENTY of money to get a great education and have extracurricular activities, but it disappears into a black hole. Everyone seems to be claiming they're not getting it, but someone is.
