The amount of money we spend on education is important, but not nearly as important as how the money is spent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Like health care, education is something worth spending on and worth investing in, but we're spending more and getting less.
Few things are more important to each individual's future success or to our nation's prosperity than education.
It's not how much you spend, it's how you spend it. We have been putting a lot of money into education in the state of Nevada, and it's gotten us to 50th in the country in graduation rates. We needed more accountability in our system.
Education should be one of our top funding priorities; talking about it does not help the teachers and students who desperately need promises fulfilled.
Economic growth is important. But we cannot count on economic growth alone to fund the public education system our children need and deserve.
We spend more than a million dollars a year on our colleges and university, and it is money well spent; but we must have education that fits not the few but the many for the business of life.
We should be trying to make education less expensive, not more.
I think an education is not only important, it is the most important thing you can do with your life.
Even in a time of fiscal austerity, education is more than just an expense.
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.
