Cashing In On Kids. Dan and I attempt to look at education from the reformer’s point of view. What is their thinking? Why destroy public schools? Are their approaches good for your child? For our communities? For our country? In our minds, we do not accept the argument that individuals can take profits from the tax dollars citizens pay for education. We reject education scams that build Real Estate empires for individuals and corporations. We reject experiments that damage children. We wonder why our concepts of morality and ethics are not shared by the reformers.
