Read this in the March 2003 edition of Technology & Learning magazine, page 6:

A Modest Proposal
"Details need to be worked out, but I want every child in California to be given a 13-year prison sentence at age 5, with the possibility of a four-year extension. That way, the $7,000 the state spends per student each year could immediately be raised to $27,000--what the state spends on each inmate annually. And our criminally underfunded schools would qualify for the only category in the governor's proposed budget that's slated to get more money this year."
--from "Raising the Bars," by Margo Freistadt, San Francisco Chronicle, January 19, 2003 (sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/01/19/IN197116.DTL)

Does this mean Teachers would get the same Salary and Retirement as Correctional Officers (95% at age 50)?

Interesting idea.....
