text: What a pitiful, plaintive commentary on a once proud profession.
  One wonders what children learn from this charade.
  Taxpayers learn (again) that education-industry officials and union counterparts are far more interested in getting money than in educating students.
  Taxpayers may have to learn how to fight back through disenrollments, property-tax strikes, picketing, information campaigns until a forensic audit of school-district finances and management practices is commissioned.
  Teachers may have to help by blowing the whistle on every bit of fraud, waste, and mismanagement they can document.
  Anchorage's education-industry problem can be fixed, but it --will not-- be fixed by pouring more money over troubled waters or by trusting the present management-union-school board cabal to make things right.
  What say you, Gentle Readers?
