[citation][nom]traesta[/nom]really though ... anyone with experience behind the wheel can watch the adjacent lights and learn how they work so that once it turns red then your light will turn green ... but as far as using a red count down timer around the red light i think its a neat idea, so lets spend all of our government tax dollars on that instead of providing more funds to our kids schools to give them a better education ...by the time they graduate they wont even know what a light bulb is[/citation]They already don't know what a light bulb is. Let's say we pour lots more money into the CURRENT "education system" we have (brainwashing facilities that don't actually teach kids things they need to know). You'll just end up with kids that STILL don't know what a light bulb is, but we spent a whole lot more money to pull it off.
You could cut class size down to FIVE KIDS, QUADRUPLE teacher pay, and give students free access to advanced laptops, digital libraries, personal tutors, etc. It still won't do JACK as long as the educators, school book authors, board members, et al have an agenda to train them to be mindless idiots with the power to Vote but no critical thinking skills.
