...failed miserably? Five Newark schools are getting $21.9 million of the $45 million in School Improvement Grants that the federal government is sending to New Jersey. The money goes to those with worthy plans for rehabilitating schools that year after year after year fail to provide most kids with a decent education.
I’m sure a lot of people greeted that news with moans and groans about good money thrown after what’s already been wasted. I’m not yet ready to join the skeptics. I do have questions about just what the money is supposed to buy, particularly since the effort to rehabilitate comes at a time when state education cuts are going to make the job harder.
The grants cover three years and are going to 12 New Jersey schools, including Newark’s Shabazz and Central High schools, Renaissance Academy, an alternative education program, West Kinney Alternative, a vocational school, and Dayton Street Elementary. That comes to a bit more than $1 million a year per school. How far is that going to go?

Newark NJ is the number one Liberal city in New Jersey if not America. So all that money where did it go?
You think the same thing is going to happen with Obamacare?
