Great Video

I've said repeatedly that simply throwing more money at public education isn't going to improve achievement and close achievement gaps. I don't believe that K-12 public education in our state spends the significant funds (about 40% of the state budget) very efficiently or effectively. With those caveats, I thought that Brian Green, Megan Fox and the folks at Funny or Die did a good job with this video calling for increased education funding. I love how the guy from the Governor's office keeps popping in dropping off more kids and telling motivational stories of the Governor's life.

What in the world is going on in California? Cutting school funding? Then what are they going to do with all that money that they cut!?

What are they doing with the cuts?

Unfortunately, they're using it to balance the multi-billion dollar budget deficits that our state seems to have every year.
