In my hometown (Charleston) the number of students in the district where I went has tripled, yet the number of HS's has been halved.
How is that?
Private, white, acadamies
I'm from Charleston and went to school in the 80's too. The schools where I live halved because they combined two into one which certainly didn't segregate anything.

I went in the 60's.
Yeah, they combined two high schools which now has about 300 more kids than when I went there, and meanwhile the number of high-school aged kids in the district tripled.
This about Sanford turning down stim $ to fan the rabble, while kids lose out.
You think kids dont lose out when they are saddled with TRILLIONS of dollars in debt that THEY, yes THEY have to pay back because WE are being ilresponsible?
Sorry but Governor Sanford is 100% correct on this issue, and if you werent here supporting the sellout of our kids future, than maybe you would understand the difference and understand how SCHOOLS are STATE functions, and Obama has NOTHING to do with it..

Let's get one thing straight.
Sanford's objection was not that the money would put the put the country in debt, but that he could not spend it like he wanted to.

Where have ther rest gone?
Private, most segregated schools.
Or else they drop out, 'cause SC just don't care.
What tells you that it's about race? Couldn't it be that the public schools are not doing well, so parents that can afford it send their kids someplace else? I'm willing to bet that there are more private schools in the northeast than the south. Are they racist too or does that only apply to the south? Obama's kids go to a private school; I take it he's racist, as are the Clintons etc.
If the number of kids has tripled, I would assume that the number of families has increased as well. If only 300 of them go to public school, then the schools should be pretty well funded per capita because the property taxes of all those other families are going to pay for the 300 to attend the school.
Sanford's objection was not that the money would put the put the country in debt, but that he could not spend it like he wanted to.
And the way he wanted to was to pay down debt versus apply it as mandated and be left afterwards with increased finacnial obligation and no ability to pay for it (aka more debt). It was about the state's ability to cover what would have been mandated by taking the money.
