A strong accountability system needs to broaden, not narrow, the curriculum. That cannot happen if you only have accountability without adequate school funding. Until Tallahassee understands the need to raise the bar as well as the financial investment, Florida will continue to celebrate mediocrity at the expense of true achievement.

Tallahassee: 45% power.
Columbus: Thank you.

Tallahassee: [In a deleted scene, where the two sisters steal Tallahassee and Columbus's hummer and leave them on the road] B-holes... Jokes on them. Look what I swiped from under the seat.
[Tallahassee would show Columbus the envelope with the fake rings inside. Columbus would start to walk away]
Tallahassee: Hey... This bag ain't gonna carry
itself...
