Re: “Education key issue in 2010” (TNT, 1-3).
Cost-saving steps such as “increasing class sizes in kindergarten through fourth grade, suspending all-day kindergarten for schools with the highest poverty levels, cutting college scholarships” and “cutting between 6 percent and 12 percent from each university budget” are touted as ways to solve the problems of education in this state.
Nowhere do I discern any attention to the major problem in at least higher education: bloated administrations. Until the proliferation of professional administrators and their outrageous salaries are faced, the problem will not and cannot be handled.
