*chuckle* Cyrinne, of course they have the bullshit company line on their web site. That doesn't change what they actually DO politically.
I was giving an example so people could find it and look it up on the web. I think where an organization puts their money is hardly bullshit, and the money and labor they put into the National Board Certification program, and loans and scholarships for teachers who want to seek that kind of certifcation speaks a lot.

I know what you feel about what they do politically, and I wish they didn't because it kills their credibility. But there's also a lot more to the organization than bitching about the fact that they have a leftist slant.

Anyway, thats really going to be my last post on the subject because that isn't what the thread is about.

Educational funding is really continuing to baffle me. I too have read how much we've spent on education in Federal funds in this administration, and how it is the most ever. But I am still buying supplies for my classroom (including consumable supplies that I won't ever see again) with my own money. Though I at least get a paltry tax break for it now.

I know it's all supposed to be public record, so its all hidden somewhere for us to read. But I can't find it. I would love to see where this money went. All I know is, it isn't in my classroom and it isn't in my bank account.
