When the financial world disregarded the regulators and the regulators disregarded the financial world, the economy took a complete dive and we've spent billions of dollars cleaning up the damn mess.
What did you think will/would happen to something as seemingly unimportant as educations for the nation's children?
In Michigan, right now, there is a bill to completely do away with ALL of the reg's and testing-- for Charter schools only. Not only that, they can limit their students to the cream of the crop. Not only that, the bill endorses payments by parents for curriculum activities.
So much for FAPE, Free and Appropriate Public Education. That's the law and regardless of the "infractions" of the kid, this school has violated the student's civil rights.
