Introduced by Sen. Bruce Patterson (R) on April 18, 2007, to require the state Superintendent of Public Instruction and the state Board of Education to establish a definition of what constitutes “adequate funding” for a school district to provide a satisfactory education, compare this concept of adequate funding to a funding level that would constitute full funding for all of a school district's existing programs, and submit a report to the legislature that states the funding level necessary to provide “adequate funding” and the funding level necessary to provide full funding, either on a statewide basis or a district-by-district basis, or both. The bill does not define “adequate”.
- Referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee on April 18, 2007.

students who came from private schools that are FAR SUPERIOR to public school students.

my daughter got moved into a public school in the middle of her junior hear in high school. the school tested her for placement, and she GRADUATED.

they said that she passed the test with a 98% score. they said that she had the intelligence and the information necessary to graduate high school ten weeks into her junior year.

she started college the next semester, and is keeping a 3.8 gpa.

she turns 18 in a couple of months, she is now a sophomore.

private schools, as a rule have BETTER teachers than the public schools, which is WHY parents shell out BIG BUCKS to send their kids there.

private schools, as a rule have BETTER after school programs than public schools, because they offer the programs that the kids WANT TO DO. another reason why parents shell out the BIG BUCKS to send their kids there.

private schools, as a rule even have better lunches, and a few will provide a bus to pick your kid up and drop him off, IF you are willing to pay for it. most parents that send their kids to private school don't feel the need for such things.

the best part is, they are IN CONTROL of whether or not they have it. which is ANOTHER reason they shell out the BIG BUCKS to send their kids there.

kids who attend private schools are FAR LESS LIKELY to do drugs,because the TEACHERS GET TO KNOW THE STUDENTS. the parents are treated as PARTNERS IN EDUCATION and as THE BOSS, because they pay the bills.

teachers have to impress THE BOSS every day, in a lot of ways, or THE BOSS takes the money elsewhere.

that's part of the FREEDOM offered by private schools.

we have the FREEDOM to choose the best school.
