REFORM: How does this add up?

| March 9, 2011 9:00 PM

Idaho Superintendant Luna said he would increase class size to 19 students. Wow! But I visited my grandchildren's elementary school and counted 26 students already in each class! After school I asked the teachers to show me how to INCREASE 26 students per classroom to 19. They taught me that 19 is LESS than 26 and that 26 is MORE than 19. Crazy! Those "bad teachers who belong to the union" could not show me how to INCREASE 26 STUDENTS TO 19 STUDENTS. That is crazy, so I asked the janitor if he taught class, but he's too busy cleaning and fixing old broken things. I'll wait till the students get their laptops. Maybe then someone can teach me how to increase 26 to 19.
