It’s time to think outside the box

After my moderate 10% budget reduction was proposed and soundly defeated, Ian Freeman voiced an alternative solution for fixing our broken school system.  One with which I am entirely in agreement with.   Earlier in the evening someone had mentioned “in order to fix the problem one must think outside the box.”  And that’s exactly what Ian brought to the table.  The school bureaucrats and bootlickers in attendance were not amused.
