Let's first dispel the myth that more money = better education. Certainly, some minimum amount is needed. However, simply throwing more money at a malfunctioning school will not automatically fix it. Ask yourself why private schools almost always do better than government-run schools? Is it the extra money...or is it how the school is run, teaching methods, no unions, forms of discipline, etc.?

I am surprisd at Liberty County's grade slip. They have so much money in grant money for tutoring. That's a joke!!!! I think parents need to look into this program a little more and realize their children are not getting the so called,"professional teaching they need". This tutoring program is based on income and not on childrens grades. This money needs to be placed where it can be a greater asset to all children and families.
