If the government is going to mandate levels and punish schools for failing, they should send that money to the school system.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If all the rich and all of the church people should send their children to the public schools they would feel bound to concentrate their money on improving these schools until they met the highest ideals.
I don't think the schools are getting as much money as they should.
The money in the schools overpowers the principles of the purpose.
School reform is not enough. The notion of schooling itself must be challenged.
That just doesn't make sense, that government should be making money off students.
If more people got involved with their local schools, if more companies donated money, a lot of the problems that are plaguing our schools and our youth would disappear.
Our schools should get five years to get back to where they were in 1963. If they're still bad maybe we should declare educational bankruptcy, give the people their money and let them educate themselves and start their own schools.
Instead of unfairly demonizing teachers, we should be working with them to find solutions to the problems in our schools and make sure every child gets an outstanding public education.
While the public school rewards failure by throwing more government money at failing school systems, the voucher system does the opposite.
As they work hard for our children, America's teachers often reach into their own pockets to make sure they have the best classroom supplies. I feel strongly that the federal government should help make up for their personal financial burden.
