  2. Second, two students from Shaker Heights City Schools also opined in favor of the House school funding revamp plan. They also took the opportunity to opine against school and district report cards, attempting a difficult maneuver to link funding with accountability. And while Mr. Clips Compiler would only give them a C- on the effort, I suspect these high-flyers’ GPAs would barely feel it. (Cleveland.com, 6/6/21)
