sounds like Kerry thinks if we throw more money at schools education will improve. imo this is a fallacy that has been proven in the last few decades. We need vouchers to let the people out of schools that are not performing. We need to able to take action on teachers with poor performance and fire them or put them on probation. we need merit pay based on performance. We also need to take the tax burden for education off the backs of the elderly without incomes to pay for their realestate tax and are forced out of the homes they lived in all their life. Perhaps education budgets should be taken away from all local gov , state gov and fund it with a national education tax. The system is so unbalanced and is a very sad situation in our country. Why does a place like Washington D. C. not have the money and educators to teach the kids in that city and other cities like it? If Kerry wants to be a leader take on the teacher union.
