On Milton becoming an island in sea of 4K programs

Sorry, my previous post should have read, "I can guarantee the ones complaining on here about having to support education would be the same ones complaining about the reports showing American schools are lagging behind other countries."

As a result of all the complaining about the poor public school system, and high taxes, NCLB was created. If districts aren't making the grade, they are financially punished. So why not get students in as soon as possible in order to "prepare them for the test" as soon as possible?! Thus P4J. If we didn't have P4J, I can guarantee the same ones posting on here about supporting education would be the ones complaining about the reports showing American schools are lagging behind other countries. Isn't it ironic?!

It's disappointing how the photo makes it look like a barren wasteland. Say goodbye to more prime farmland. But hey, we can make more. Right?!
On School district's insurance costs questioned

I am not an insurance expert or knowledgeable about teacher contracts. But here's a novel idea. Agree on a contract for the benefits and salary for the teachers. Then agree to an overestimate price. For example, if district has overestimated by $1 million, anything over that $1 mill goes to the teachers in a bonus. That way it will not be a reoccuring payment (like a raise would be). That would give the teachers an incentive to be healthy and the district an extra $1 millioin in their reserve fund. It probably won't work though because of egos (see Ted Thompson/Brett Favre negotiation!)

Now I'm torn. Do I train my kid to be a punter for the Packers or a closer for the Brewers? Any advice would be appreciated!
