I've gotta agree with what a lot of people here have said. If, at least in my area and I had the money, I would have paid more for my teachers to try and teach us better. But, being a poor citizen, I was never lucky enough to go to a private school where that'd be offered.
If the gov't threw some money into the education system, I believe we'd be in better shape then we are now also. But everyone is to busy making sure they are getting lots of money, and being greedy.
In New Hampshire, prime example, we don't want to impose a Sales Tax to pay for our education system. Don't get me wrong, I don't really like the thought of a Sales Tax which would benifit the Education System, but this is helping kill our (New Hamsphire) schools. My principal at my old high school just got fired because he was getting paid to much. Also the head grounds-keeper got fired trying to get supplies to keep the school in decent shape, and supplied.
Why doesn't Mr. Bush use this new "economic stimulus" package he want's to do, and throw that into the education system. It'd actually go somewhere where it is really needed, and will be used(hopefully wisely).
