Kyle Olson is outraged. The Camden, New Jersey school district has been a mess for years, despite a 14-to-1 student to teacher ratio and spending over $26,000 per student every year. The district’s graduation rate is under 50%. Only three Camden students who took the S.A.T. test last year scored as “college ready.” Twenty-five percent of 3rd graders were proficient in Language Arts Literacy – which is the fancy bureaucratic way of saying reading and writing. This all shows something is not working in Camden. EAGnews recently analyzed the district’s 2012-13 spending. One of many things that stuck out: nearly $24,000 was spent at bowling alleys and skating rinks. One might assume the district is paying for field trips and that could be justified in many people’s minds.

When we asked why the district spent money this way, in particular at a bowling alley, the district’s response? “Improve hand eye coordination.” Obviously there's something wrong here, just like in New York City's PS 106, where Principal Marcella Sills has been given a no-show job and where classes are the exception, not the rule. What's the solution? Listen to the interview and find out.

Don Harrold has hit upon a unique concept for buying and selling precious metals, as well as anything else you want to sell. His new site www.PidBid.com is easy, fast and free to use. Only verified users are allowed to transact business, so it's much safer than Craigslist. To sign up, you'll need to disclose an email address, phone number and paypal account. This three step process will keep out all but the most determined fraudsters. However, you must as always use common sense and safe business practices. But with no transaction costs and ease of use, it's certainly worth a try.

Fifty years after Lyndon Johnson declared a War on Poverty, the United States still has a large number of people stuck in poverty. Professor Quadagno believes that there have been successes, but that the programs were never implemented as originally conceived and for that reason it never succeeded. Unfortunately, that's politics in America.
