If we do not provide education for every single American, we are consigning those without an education to second-class status.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's shortsighted not to view the education of a future generation of Americans as a priority for all Americans.
Unless we make education a priority, an entire generation of Americans could miss out on the American dream.
If American schooling is inadequate now, just imagine how much more obsolete it will be when today's kindergarten students graduate from high school in just 12 years.
Americans should understand that 50%, or something like, of the kids in inner-city schools, often poor and often minority, don't graduate. And the ones that do don't necessarily have the skills to get a job. That is the biggest disgrace in this country.
We are going to have the best educated American people in the world.
We don't have the money in America to keep paying for the education of everybody else's children from around the world. We simply don't have the financial resources to do that.
Education is a precondition to survival in America today.
Every citizen has the real right to receive general education and professional training at no cost, something that the United States has not been able to ensure for all its inhabitants.
Americans want students to get the best education possible. We want schools to prepare children to become good citizens and members of a prosperous American economy.
We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world.
