Classes in Store Windows

With school budgets constantly declining, maybe this is a money-saving solution that should be reconsidered. Stop building new schools and conduct classes in store windows instead.

How about just stop teaching, feeding, housing, and providing medical care of children of illegal immigrants?

And, yes, I don't believe a person should be granted citizenship simply because (s)he was born on US soil! At least one parent should be a citizen at time of birth to qualify.

It looks like the scene is in a car dealer's showroom. The dealer must not be moving too many vehicles.

I pity the kids sitting next to those windows during late May in Phoenix.

"The big distraction was kibitzing parents." Gee, ya reckon??? OTOH, I suppose at least the parents cared enough to kibitz. Too often, the parents don't seem to give a rat's about their children's education.

Why should today's kids get an education, their parents didn't get one!

Can't have windows that big, the gangs will blow them out in the drive-bys.
