I think that people need to stop viewing education short falls in this country as merely a financial problem. By saying that I am in no way arguing against the idea that teachers do not make enough or that there are in fact underfunded areas/students in this country. My big problem is however that money is the only solution ever really brought to the table; I personally believe, like others on this thread, that the problem is the kids and parents, and in some instances and to a much lesser degree a cultural thing. You can keep hiking the taxes and throwing more money into the black hole that has become education, but if the kids aren't willing to learn, or there parents aren't there to push them to it, then all the money in the world will not make the difference.
