Labor Day Education Rundown

Rumor has it (and this is strictly rumor) that elementary school PACT test scores, at least those in the Bluffton cluster are looking good. If this is actually true and how this will translate to academic excellence remains to be seen, but we can hope for now that it will mean better days are ahead.

But how are we going to pay for it? This article underlines, highlights, and circles why Beaufort County continues to get the lowest return for the most amount of money. In fact 5th worst according to Forbes (whatever that means).

Massive overcrowding in primarily white and rapidly growing southern Beaufort County takes a back seat to a (now 7 years late) promise made to rural, declining population northern Beaufort County (that happens to be predominantly black).

The school board, at least in its current form is still not ready to make tough decisions germane to the problems at hand, instead opting to use their position as leverage to promote government waste and collusion via the race card. This won’t change until the folks pandering to ignorance or those too scared of the panders pointing them out as racist are forced out of office. Meanwhile the predator-type contractors and others that profit from such poor money management are laughing all the way to the bank.

Private school just keeps looking better and better.
