Green advocates for open air classrooms

Rep. Mark Green's press release on his "plan" for education is a joke right? It has to be. Otherwise you come away thinking Green doesn't know that classrooms are in buildings. Green says he wants to spend money on the classrooms but also says:
“Taxpayer dollars should be targeted at children and classrooms - not bureaucrats and buildings."
Yeah, the money spent on the roof above the classrooms is wasteful spending pure and simple. Why should we pay for new roofs for the buildings when we could have open air classrooms? The kids could just meet with the teacher in a field. We'd save a ton of money on heating and building maintenance costs that way. Sure the kids may get cold in the winter, but science class will be all around them. Hey, maybe that means we can stop wasting money on science textbooks too!
