In today’s World with the World Economy the way it is, State, And City Governments Struggling to meet their Budgets, and Failing Terribly, reminds me of Alaska’s New Governor proposing to eliminate the 12th grade as a requirement to Graduating from High school, in order to save Millions, and bringing the State Budget into Balance. Excuse me. Whatever happened to the Quality of Education. WE are supposedly one of the Wealthiest Nations in the World, But at the same time America has the worst educational system in the world, and yet Alaska’s Governor wants to Handicap Alaska’s’ upcoming Future. It is not just the State of Alaska’s Future, but the whole of America’s Future, If we the People allow Politicians like Alaska’s Governor to prevail.. If I recall the News Media was playing it up as a necessary option for the voters, and the Students of the Future. Do WE really want this to become a reality in our Country???
