30. The irony is that, with state budget cuts, college tuitions will soon be unaffordable anyway...
So, even if the charter school scam were working as advertised... and all students could be better educated... it really wouldn't matter because only the wealthiest or most willing to go into debt will be able to go on to college... and then only the most well connected will be able to get the shrinking numbers of jobs that will allow one to pay back the debt that is likely necessary.

Public resources are being bled off to private pockets in order to prepare the youth to pay for the chance to pursue increasingly unobtainable goals... but the debt they'll be saddled with will be guaranteed.

I can't quite decide which is the insult and which the injury being added to... :+
