A look at ... school funding

Given the looming budget battle, I thought some of you would be amused by Tattoo cartoonist Justin Skaradosky's new cartoon at www.ReadTheTattoo.com. Skaradosky is a junior at Bristol Central High School.
The Tattoo got a little update today to add Justin's cartoon and a review of "The Bluest Eye" by Bristol Eastern junior Rachel Glogowski. (The cartoon, by the way, looks better on The Tattoo's website than it does here on Blogger.)
For those who don't know, The Tattoo is a teen-written, online newspaper that Jackie Majerus and I have been running since 1994. It's got young writers all over the world and has helped hundreds of teens get into college, win scholarships and learn to write better.

Even the kids see that funding the current school system is a waste of money .

We might as well just flush it down the toilet .
