rcookie says():THAT IS THE JOB OF THE GOV’T & POLITICIANS…GO TALK TO THEM…
sassy says():rcookie wonder who wrote that for Aalak lol
sassy says():That is why Abadi wants tecnocrats instead of the old cronies they have now

sassy says():we pay taxes for a good education for our kids and they are not getting it sad
jeffjane says to sassy():You have to ask, why is the education so bad (we spend more per student than any country, so it’s not money). Is it parents, is it unions, is it teachers, etc,,,,,,,,,
