GothamSchools — daily independent reporting on NYC public schools

Eliminating grants to failing school districts more than likely will make things worse. However. I am not suggesting that throwing money at the problem will make them passing but if the ratio of teacher-per-student was decreased the odds might improve. Paterson should ensure he has the money before he spends it. Cuts are not the answer, what schools need is another source of funding beside govt. money. Here is a simple way that schools can earn money 24/7 without selling door-to-door and parents writing checks, http://www.mainstreetfair.com. This website will donate money to any K-12 school in the U.S. and all people have to do is use it to sell just about any item that they no longer use or shop online using this site. The donation is on them not us, the least we can do as concerned parents is help this website help our schools.

In my opinion this wasn’t a very good proposal, 5% and 1.1 billion are entirely different factors and the focus should be heavily on adding in stead of cutting in this case.

I agree with Geld, 5% and 1.1 billion are entirely different factors and the focus should be heavily on adding in stead of cutting. A very interesting article which I think the readiers of my school grants website http://www.schoolgrantsresource.com will find interesting.

Hearing about this scholarship for mothers that the government has implemented has made some people wonder what’s behind the good deed. 40 million dollars in one year is a lot to spend on citizens without asking for anything back. While doing this is definitely a good deed, there is something else driving it, but it as well is for the good of the United States.
