Bling Bling: The Most Pathetic of Pathetic Gubment Skools Get Paid, fool...

"Mo' Money, Mo' Problems" seems to be etched somewhere onto the halls, bowels, unisex bathrooms and whatever else within the Education Department. Apparently, they haven't figured out that rewarding crappy conduct only encourages mo' crappy conduct.

"When a school continues to perform in the bottom five percent of the state and isn't showing signs of growth or has graduation rates below 60 percent, something dramatic needs to be done," said Duncan. "Turning around our worst performing schools is difficult for everyone but it is critical that we show the courage to do the right thing by kids," apparently by throwing money at'em. And to qualify for mo' skrilla, "states must identify their lowest-performing schools," also known as the "event horizon" of the public skool black hole, so mo' money can be sucked away. "The mo' po' the schools, the mo' dough for fools."
