ISD CEO's need to cut their salaries. Teachers need to be allowed to teach. Back to the basics with a look at utilizing technology. Showing a child how to use a calculator to do math, is not teaching them how to figure out the problem. I would bet that very few children today can do multiplication in their head. Throwing more money at education is not the answer - teaching kids how to think, reason, and reach conclusions is what's needed.
