I read this article a little late but I discovered it nonetheless, and its pretty baffling. It seems that the only solution we could come up with everything is "lets just spend more money on it that will work" without first fixing the key issues.You just end up paying for the same thing on a bigger scale. A failing system.
Well I see that the focus on solving education are misplaced. Increasing
the budget and building more schools in no way equates to children
learning. It involves so many other factors to go along with it. Whats
the child's home life like? Are the teachers actually any good? Are our
standardized testing up to par? Are the children motivated enough to
even try? Just bashing each other saying "oh we built this many schools
and paid this money" OK so what was the result? We have a national D
average, people seem to forget that even with all the schools the FNM
built. If you build it they surely would come, but would they thrive?
Its a better idea to cut cost and manage the money with more scrutiny.
Just throwing money at a problem haphazardly isn't a real solution.
