Are you kidding me ?  Read the stories headline again : " ...More than half of students failed tests..." .  Instead of addressing this terrible headline you want to talk about me and what I have ? You need to get a life and not be jealous of the wonderful one I have.  On top of that , a rocket / pocket scientist like you should know there are very few trash collection jobs in Alaska .  Education is key to having a great future . The teachers are clearly failing our kids. Our older kids are clearly failing themselves.  Taxpayers and the state give education over a billion dollars a year---and this is the thanks we get ?  Over half can't pass the test , yet two schools are allowed to fly their kids out of state to play football ?  These kids should be hitting the books , not the airport .  An evaluation should be done on every teacher and the bad one's fired . So much for teacher tenure helping in the classroom.  The Anchorage super should be fired after this result was announced .
