We are trying to understand the City of Tempe’s need to meddle in the lives of preschoolers<\/a>.\u00a0 There already exists an entire industry dedicated to teaching, and as the\u00a0bureaucratic education\u00a0industry has grown and more money has been thrown at it, the results have been less than stellar.\u00a0 The State of Arizona has a Department of Education tasked with guiding kindergarten-12th grade.\u00a0 The federal government has an unconstitutional Department of Education.\u00a0 At least little kids have been left alone which has allowed their parents to do the job tasked to them at birth—>raise their own kids.<\/p>\n

But not in Tempe.\u00a0 Councilman David Schapira never misses out on a chance to grab headlines, and what better way than developing a “free” nursery school program while he is running for Superintendent of Public Instruction.\u00a0 Of course we know the program is not free.\u00a0 The cost <\/a>is $3,000,000\/year for 360 kids, paid for by the Tempe taxpayers<\/em>.\u00a0 For those of you who are struggling with Common Core math, that\u00a0amounts to $8,333\/little kid.\u00a0 What?\u00a0 How does teaching a 3 or 4 year old cost $8,333?\u00a0 The buildings exist, so no structures need to be built.\u00a0 What is all this money for?<\/p>\n

Recently, Tempe’s local television channel ran some “Help Wanted” ads.\u00a0 We may have found one of the reasons for the bloated education budget.\u00a0\u00a0 Check out these salaries:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Preschool Resource Expansion–what does that mean, will the program get bigger?\u00a0 Will more “needy” kids be solicited so the program will never go away?<\/p>\n

And what are these Data Analysts?\u00a0 What information will they be collecting and what will they do with it?\u00a0 Data collection is already a hot topic with many Americans.\u00a0 With the recent revelations of spying<\/a> on citizens by the Obama administration, many are asking what exactly does our government,\u00a0at any level,\u00a0do with the information they obtain about private citizens?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our guess is not a lot of data needs to be collected on little kids.\u00a0 Is the data collection on their parents—-income, education levels, political preference, religious preference, who has health insurance, the number of dogs in the house?<\/p>\n

There was another position needed by the City of Tempe and we wonder why:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>If the hourly pay is mid-range, that would add up to a $50,000\/year job, which isn’t bad.\u00a0 Remember Tempe also offers great benefits and lots of paid time off.\u00a0 But why is Tempe in the nutrition business?\u00a0 Could it be a nutritionist for the “free” nursery school?<\/p>\n

Think about the domino effect—-all of these unnecessary salaries for an unnecessary program paid to unnecessary employees who\u00a0will be forever grateful to #$3millionSchapira.\u00a0 It’s a great vote-grabbing scheme and well thought out.\u00a0 Kudos to the Councilman.<\/p>\n

The gravy train is alive and well in Tempe’s\u00a0questionable education endeavor.\u00a0 Ooops, the $50K nutritionist may not allow the word “gravy.”<\/p>\n
