I can't explain it, but I am sure there is one.

Most teachers do a great job and we just need more of them and affordable schooling. It is that simple.

Imagine if Bush had spent the 5 trillion he wasted on those two wars and tax cuts for the rich on education.

We would be the pearl of the world right now.

Almost all people are vastly under educated. The more developed a mind is, the more it can do. As simple as that.

Then how do you explain the statistics, provided by the Dept of Education, showing that since 1970, inflation adjusted per student spending K-12 has tripled with no improvement in results.
How about teacher's unions...
