Darryl,
I too feel your discouragement in our educational foundations. I am in awe that with mass revenue coming in from casinos, that your educational system is still being passed over. I would question where that money is actually going. It us remarkable that as a society we can talk about the avenues for funding, show the avenues for funding and make promises for the future, but sadly nothing more is done to advance the proper route of financial competency. While I am vaguely familiar with the SQ 744 proposal; only by what I am reading from your blog and a few online articles, it amazes me of the ignored agenda and the unfulfilled promises.
While I don't reside in Oklahoma, Virginia is just as misguided and mistrusted in their educational promises. Property taxes are outrageous, educators are taken for granted, government funding is providing for children whose parents are serving their country and unevenly distributed, but still there is never money for the acquisitions that are so desperately needed in terms of our children's education and future. How sad it is that we only want the best for our child's education, but yet our governmental support structure always seems to fall short, unless they are over-taxing or taking from other broken programs.
Thanks for the insight and emotional appeal. It is an outrage what we have to fight for to educate our children!
