Steve's barking at the education industry

The new mayor of New York City wants to give free pre-k (kinder garden) to all, by taxing the wealthy in a small way. The Governor of New York State doesn't believe in home rule, he says he believes in giving all the young children in the city pre-k only using money that's already in the coffers. The mayor says rightfully said hay we can use that money for something else.
I remember a time that higher education (in the US that means college) and you didn't have to put up your first born as collateral for a loan that you hope would let you earn a good living.
Am I imagining this or do some colleges payinmg their presidents what the CEO of major corporations earn and that state university presidents earn multiples of what the governors of said states earn. When they earn that type of money I guess they believe that they earn it by showing large endowments and large profits for non profit institutions.
I remember suffering not going to school because of a teachers strike. Did it retard my education? No I was already retarded. I don't blame the Teachers Union for the lost time and bad grades in my first two years of high school, I blame the board of ed. Going down memory lane it was though that decentralizing the school system was the way to go, of cause some local boards who were suppose to be helping the children were helping themselves to the money that was to go for education.Now we have charter schools in New York City. Some are good some are bad, but it's reported that they all have revolving doors, so that one year you may have great dedicated teachers and the next they may have teachers that don't know that a gold fish is dead if it's floating on the top of the tank. The charter schools have a great incentive to have students do great on standardize test. In other words they have a great incentive to cheat.

What I would do to help the public school system is hire an army of college students to go students homes and try to help by turning on that switch that children have in their heads to learn and to enjoy learning.
(Tuttering)? Will it help? Slightly
