The Teacher Unions’ War Against Military Families
Submitted on 6.24.2009
The Senate Armed Services Committee is considering a proposal to provide military families with tuition vouchers. The idea enjoys support in the military but the National Education Association (NEA) has mounted an attack in a letter to the Committee, part of its ongoing battle against educational choice.
California’s Textbook Case
Submitted by Daniel R. Ballon, Ph.D on 6.10.2009
Governor Schwarzenegger last month announced a first-in-the-nation plan to offer free digital math and science textbooks for high school students. Facing a $24 billion budget deficit, the governor touts the need for “such innovative ways to save money and improve services.” Shifting the curriculum online might help reduce the state’s yearly textbook tab of $400 million, but technology alone will do little to improve the quality of California’s public schools.
