Howabout this…?

Take the half a frickin’ million dollars that this tour will cost and buy some laptops for low income students.

They can sit in a room in DC and chat with a few locals for the price of a coke.

hehe I know the Right hates the Dept of Education. I hear that here a lot. I’m not a scholar, but I’m sure I could come up with many benefits. I’ll make it my project for 2010, k?

It’s not just buying the kids laptops and schoolbooks. It’s changing the system. Teachers have a hard time teaching in many schools, primarily because of fear of lawsuits. Class sizes are too large, salaries too small.
