Or start paying higher taxes so that public education is given the funding they need to implement these programs.
- WoodenChair 13y agoWe spend the fourth most per pupil of any country in the world: http://www.businessinsider.com/us-education-spending-compared-to-the-rest-of-the-developed-world-2012-1 http://www.businessinsider.com/us-education-spending-compare... Money is not the answer - in fact some of the states that spend the most, have the worst results.
- EdgarVerona 13y agoThat is a good point as well - beyond the monetary needs is the need to cut out the bullshit that has impeded our school systems. We've got a lot of people lining their pockets at the expense of quality education, and we've got a lot of terrible teaching strategies/ideologies that have hurt education more than it ever helped. Would a private system help that, or would it stratify who has access to education at all? I don't honestly know the answer to that. But something has got to give.
