Americans for Prosperity, an organization recently attacked by Barry Obama, will present the important education documentary "The Cartel" on Thursday in Seneca Falls. From AFP New York:
In Governor Cuomo’s State of the State Address, he declared that New York State ranks first in spending per student and yet ranks thirty-fourth overall in results.
It is not much better on a national level. American 15-year-olds rank 35th out of 57 countries in math and literacy, behind almost all industrialized nations. Yet the U.S. was the biggest spender at 7.6 percent of GDP, or $1.1 trillion in 2007.
Obviously, we are failing our children in giving them the means to excel in the new global economy. And throwing money at the problem is not the answer.
On Thursday, March 10th, 2011 at 5:30 p.m. at Seneca Falls Library, 47 Cayuga Street, Seneca Falls, NY, there will be a public screening of The Cartel, a documentary that exposes the waste and problems in the public school system. VIEW the movie trailer!
