A nice boost for employment statistics fans I guess.
What I don't understand is how things got to this point without the electorate making a stand? Or do the people who vote send their kids to private school instead?
- timw0j 9y agoIt's mostly people who don't have kids/old people who vote with the mentality of "I don't have kids in school, why should I pay for other people's kids to go?"

- LarryDarrell 9y agoGiven what I know about my conservative relatives, the electorate is probably ecstatic that they were able to stick it those commie teacher unions.

Such voters don't have much of a problem with a move that brings the public school system closer to collapse.
