[No, not the story about the cheap Jamestown tourist merchandise crap featured on the front page(!), but the story about the future of our schools buried in the Metro section.

Richmond City Schools

It only gets better.  Read the full article for the juicy bits.  Our participation in our children's education is mandatory.  Or the rest of this is just an exercise in futility.
