 I agree.  Public schools are a dismal failure.  Cut our taxes and let us pay for our own children's' education.  Subsidize tuition for low income parents.

A death sentence to Michigan K-12 schools would be the best thing to happen. Get rid of them and the powerful and greedy MEA and start from scratch. Our public schools are a massive failure and a HUGE drain on Michigans budget and more importantly what's left of Michigans hard working tax payers.
