SHOULD WE TEACH 4 WELL, OR 1 POORLY :

Parents praise court's ruling on school vouchers (PAUL SINGER, 6/27/02, Associated Press)

Eulanda Johnson, 37, of Cleveland was overjoyed at the ruling.

"Thank you lord!" she said. "I thought I was going to have to work a second job."

Johnson's daughter, Ebony Williams, is entering sixth grade at St. Mary's Catholic school. Based on her income, Johnson pays 25 percent of the school's $2,250 annual tuition and the voucher program pays the remainder.

"Now I can be able to afford to send her to the school," Johnson said.

First of all, does that sound like a woman who's primarily concerned with screwing the NEA or concerned with the best interests of her child?

Second, what really leaps out there is that this school educates kids for about 1/4 of what New York City spends per pupil in its atrocious school system.
