We used to spend more on education than other states. We also lead the nation in the quality of our public schools. Now we bring up the rear in both. It should be easy to connect the dots. This is a coincidence and only a coincidence. Dollars spent have little to do with quality of instruction. Our demographics have changed to the point where we'll never lead the nation in education. Probably! But that does not mean that students and their parents should not have vouchers as an option and that taxpayers should not be given a break. As we have discussed before those two things can happen. |

I realize it must be much more difficult to teach when there are so many languages to deal with and lack of education basics entering school. How does cutting funding help this? |

Plus if all the dumb kids got vouchers, the "private" schools would decline in quality too. We are chasing our own tail here. There are many choices that you can make and at least one of them would not be affected no matter where "dumb kids", as you put it, choose to go. |
