Today on BustED Pencils Dr. Tim Slekar and his comrade Producer Jakob take a look at a developing story out of Wisconsin. As enrollment continues to decline, Republicans in Madison have passed bills aimed at aiding and encouraging school consolidation, and while Democrats in the state are against it, Tim and Jakob think the Republicans are right (at least in part). What is school consolidation? What are the positive and negative aspects of it? And should people that love education reject it outright or take up the fight for doing consolidation right? We talk about it all on today's edition of Class in Session.
