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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If the government is going to mandate levels and punish schools for failing, they should send that money to the school system.
Our public schools began as ministries of the church; now it is time to return them to the Lord.
As the son of a union activist and a lifelong Democrat, I've always thought that privatizing our public schools is not the answer. We must strengthen public schools.
I do not see any reason why they should not be given the means to give their teachers just as high an education as is secured by attendance at the Protestant schools.
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.
So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it's a better education overall.
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.
The public school has become the established church of secular society.
Every child should be given a strong start to their education.
There's no silver bullet when it comes to helping all children achieve. Great public schools are our best shot.
