So Pennsylvania is spending $10 million to pay college students for their student teaching assignments. Will the governor next propose paying college students to attend their college classes?

I was a student teacher while in college. Student teaching is a learning experience just like time in a classroom.

Don’t we have more pressing needs in Pennsylvania for $10 million? How about a mental health outreach for the homeless, addressing the drug-infested streets of Philadelphia, repairing roads and bridges? Looking at it, though, from a politician’s view, this handout will likely result in future votes for Josh Shapiro.
