AK DOE is a corrupted, money-wasting boondoogle.  Everyone knows English and math education enables students to become self-reliant and competive in the Alaskan labor market.  No education = poverty.  AK DOE always leads the U.S.A. in (1) lowest English and math proficiency and (2) highest cost per student.   The reason is that some villages are led by "adults" who do not wish to see that children are educated and self-reliant.  They want kids to be stuck forever in rural slum squalor!  These villages have turned expensively funded AK DOE village schools into dance halls or recreation centers: THEY ARE ANYTHING BUT SCHOOLS!   For decades, this has been a CRIMINAL WASTE of both AK DOE funds and worse ... a waste of Alaskan native lives.  "HA-HA" AK POLS and bought off $$$ AK DOE administrators have known it.  It's time to pay!  Alaskan public interest lawyers should form a AK BUSH TREBLE DAMAGES CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR MAL-EDUCATED NATIVES vs. AK DOE for $$$ billions!  THEN WIN THAT SUIT!
