Well, it did until we got this brain dead Tea party governor who wants vouchers. Now we have a war. And we did very well. Most of my good friends kids did very well and got university educations and they all went to our public schools. Including my two girls. The only private schools are our local Montessori pre school and the religious pre school. And as one client said recently when I was driving her around and showed her the Montessori school:'Oh that is where the "smart kids" go. Of course they aren't the smart kids, they are the educated kids. They just seem smart. The folks who are involved in their kids education know to send them to the Montessori school. In our town it is mostly the liberals. The conservatives send their kids to the local religious schools. << That is an easy question. No matter how convincing the results the Republican's will distort it to say just the opposit I see you want congress to give you unlimited funding to throw at education with no means of evaluating the results of the program--good luck with that approach. Is that the way the State of Alaska worked back in the days when you were running their programs? IMHO, the more criteria supporters of education funding can throw into the evaluation mix the better the chance they have for getting such funding.>
