Well I am not against better education, that's for sure. I want better education. I hate to think of the fact that I spend 11 years in school so far learning what should have taken me around 6 or 7. I wouldn't mind smaller classes, but I think teacher reform is the core. Take it from one who is in school. Teachers suck at teaching. They are outdated, lazy millionaires. The teachers at my school are almost all 40 or above, and make an average of around 39-40, plus special bonuses for department heads, coaches (sports come first) summer ed pays out more etc... They don't care about students education, they care about a pay check. Plus, education didn't fuel it all in the first place. It was hard working people. The ones who wanted to go out and chase a dream could, and did, so we have a huge economy because of it.
