State of the Washington Schools 'STRIKE'

Our Washington schools received an extra 7.8 million dollars from the Federal Government this past April. This was based on horrifically low scores and overall bad schools. We are also ranked 49th in the nation for school services for Autism.  The 'Charter Schools' that came out of the Hurricane Katrina disaster also brought about a marked improvement on test scores and student resources.
John Stossel's Report this past week on ABC, (also available on youtube), confirmed that while multi millions have poured into schools, the students scores and performances have decreased. It costs nearly 4 times MORE to put a child through the publc school system while the private schools have always had significantly higher scores and student performance. The mismanaged millions has not been used as directed and hoped. Instead of providing better educations with proven results, the report brought to light that many more bogus administrative positions have been created.
I am all for great teachers getting great pay. The obvious answer is to encourage them to strike and to leave. Allow Charter and Private schools to step in. This will cost far less and our kids will get superior educations. This will cut down on crime, drugs, gangs and violence as has been proven time and time again. Parents will have choices without red tape.
The 7.2 million dollars was given to Washington State throught The Department of Education BUT was not reported to the Media.
As a member of the media, I would be extrememly concerned and look into this immediately. Before anyone makes a decision, please watch ABC John Stossel Report, "STUPID IN AMERICA" to see the truth.
In the 1950's, the US had student scores in the top ten globally. This is no longer the case. We have pathetic scores and are laughed at in the global community for also being the MOST EXPENSIVE education system.
The money is already there BUT it is misappropriated and wasted on everything besides our kids educations.
In local elementary schools, the students now have to provide the teachers supplies.
Change is hard at first BUT change for the better is well worth it. Let the teachers who have robbed our kids while holding out thier palms go away.
Let Charter and Private Schools come in and be paid with what is already there and they will have enough left over to be able to bring our schools technologically out of the 80's and into the modern world. WITHOUT ADDING A PENNY.
Washington Schools are some of the bottom ten in the US while the Special Needs programs are in the bottom TWO out of 50.
The parents and the students SHOULD be striking against the schools and teachers and NOT the other way around.
