THAT is exacly what the government wants to happen! What exactly are you going to do with the special education students? Or the students who cannot pay? Believe it or not whether a teacher teaches at a private or public school, we all go to the same universities, get the same degrees, and have to pass the same teacher's test. Thank you for proving my point! You basically said because the teachers get paid less the students learn. Thats bull and you know it.. this isnt about education, its about attacking teachers. If you really keep up with the achievements of alabama students you would see that student achievement scores have increased, we have enrolled more students in advanced academic classes, and raised the graduation rate. However more cuts threaten all that. The real problem is these major corporations who make money in Alabama then use legal loopholes to pay zero taxes in Alabama. The normal working family pays taxes, the small business person pays taxes, laws need to be passed to stop these corporations from doing this!
