When you’re looking for creative ways to deal with failing schools and budget cuts ... bring in a tank! From the Sacramento Bee:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has a new rewards program for schoolkids: Stay in school, take a tank for a spin. The Republican governor is bringing home an Austrian army tank he loaned the Motts Military Museum in Columbus, Ohio, and he said Wednesday he plans to use it to drive around inner-city children who do well in school, say ‘no’ to drugs and avoid gangs in the Los Angeles area. Standing outside the Northwood Elementary School in North Sacramento, where he promoted his plan to assist 97 troubled school districts, Schwarzenegger said he plans to take kids for a ride one day a month.
Though the future looks bleak, I now have newfound hope for the Year of Education. And my little brother will be psyched.
