Politicians do not send their children to public school because they know that it is a failed system. Instead of dumping more money into something that no-one-who-can-afford-otherwise uses, how about learning from success and incorporating it? |
I can agree and respect with your post Ser.
I would add though that education is quite possibly the most important aspect of our infrastructure and should be better taken care of.
If you have sub par teachers teaching (and face it teachers make squat, private school teachers as a whole make less than public), and students are not well prepared and they go to college and become teachers it becomes a domino effect to where it gets dumber and dumber.
We need to fix the top as well as the bottom. Cutting college loans and expecting quality people to come out and be poorly paid teachers is not realistic.
