Radio Report from NPR. State Set to Assume Control of Philadelphia Public Schools... Notice how the Teachers union representative whines about change. 40-50% of the children dop-out school, and they're afraid of change! c.moreover.com

re:I find it amazing this story has not been reported (that I know of) in the mainstream news. You send me an article from the NYTimes but find it amazing that it has not been reported in the mainstream news??? What is the Times.......the Shamokin Daily Item? And then you take a statement out of context by excluding the qualifying phrase, "At least in the short term....." I'm also sure the story is being covered all over PA.... If in fact the state does take over the schools that will be national news.... But at the moment it is just negotiations. BTW, the parochial school lay teachers of NYC and lower NY are going to strike for more money in a few days.....you hear anything about it from the conservative news media....?? What is it your looking for in this story? You want to gloat over a failing public school system or
