The PTB ought to be ashamed. They are certain to get their payment under the table from the big businesses and from the developers. But they don't want to spend a dime on schools.

There are schools like this everywhere. And then people whine about the crappy conditions and won't send their kids to school there. And they want vouchers to send their kids to private school. And then they whine about how the public schools bring their home values down.

This is shameful. Maybe we can shine a light on this issue too.

and wring their dirty little hands about the lack of qualified skilled workers to fill all the increasingly complex, technical job openings. At the same time, they are pushing to expand hiring more and more foreign workers who will work for less than Americans with the same skill sets... if they could get a good education.
