Educational ? Lottery

Hnuff_postHey, I’m in favor of a good thing. Especially when it comes to kids. After all, their potential—regardless of their roots—is unlimited.

So, is it just me, or am I the only one wondering where the millions (billions?) generated by the educational lottery has gone? Certainly not into the schools. I mean, whose education, or what kind of education, exactly are they talking about?

Please, someone—not Goodie—tell me if I’m wrong about this.

    You’re not wrong for wondering. In fact, only 28 cents of each dollar goes to education—and that’s not even getting into how the education funding from the lottery has allowed the state to cut back a bit. I addressed the first point in ~> this piece in The Digitel.

A Solution for This Country

“I want to see us begin again. Let’s get out of these wars and come on back here. Take all the money we are spending elsewhere, trying to control other places, and start to rebuild the structure. Put money and prestige back into the schools. Start teaching kids in day care. Scientists tell us the earlier kids start to learn, the more capable they are of learning, and we are not taking advantage of that. We start there and we put ourselves back in the running.”
