Education should be one of our top funding priorities; talking about it does not help the teachers and students who desperately need promises fulfilled.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The amount of money we spend on education is important, but not nearly as important as how the money is spent.
We can't afford not to fully fund education.
You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher; our future depends on the quality of education of our children today.
We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.
The promise of education reform can never be fulfilled without adequate funding, and by shortchanging our schools, President Bush is breaking his promise to our children.
The top priority is leaving no child behind. We want accountability in the system, and we want schools to recognize they have a responsibility to teach students.
We should be trying to make education less expensive, not more.
When the federal government invests in education, it should support quality education and career readiness rather than institutions that make empty promises.
In a time of tight budgets, difficult choices have to be made. We must make sure our very limited resources are spent on priorities. I believe we should have no higher priority than investing in our children's classrooms and in their future.
We should empower teachers to do their job by cutting wasteful spending and crippling bureaucracy, not classroom resources our educators and students need.
