Pursuant to a recent thread on this very website, here's an article from the Boston Globe about how budget constraints are hindering Boston public school students' access to things like books, sports, or gifted & talented programs.

That's the problem with money and education. More money doesn't make schools better, but money sure makes them worse.

And just wait 'til NEXT year, when No Child Left Behind kicks in and the Division of Enforced Mediocrity of the Department of Ed. knocks out the federal funding to Boston's notoriously ailing public schools. Ya can't leave kids behind if the bus never goes anywhere.
