Green Bay Public Schools will get less funding than Private Voucher Schools, and More.

I've been saying for a whole bunch of years that charter and voucher schools complicate education, by creating parallel systems that make it even harder to watchdog taxpayers money. Others are just now getting the message.

"Report cards" and tests should be used to improve schools, not dissolve them.

You'll see that it's a lot more complicated that the ridiculous reason given by a school voucher advocate; it's a parents right. Really, the constitution says that?
