A recent letter noted that the Department of Education funds HOLO cards for students during the school year (“HOLO bus card issues are affecting students,” Star-Advertiser, June 21). What does DOE and the rest of the population who pay for these cards get in return for student rides?
Students who receive this freebie should do daily work at their respective campuses such as tutoring, cleanup of school grounds, cleanup of buses or community service. This is a great time to teach children there is no free ride in life. DOE could also give up its frequent raises to fund the effort.
