Even in a time of fiscal austerity, education is more than just an expense.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
How can the cost of education be the cost of life? It is unacceptable; it is reprehensible that we have allowed it to fester.
The amount of money we spend on education is important, but not nearly as important as how the money is spent.
There's no particular relationship between spending and educational results. Most education spending is actually on salaries, and that's allocated according to political muscle.
We should be trying to make education less expensive, not more.
We can't afford not to fully fund education.
Like health care, education is something worth spending on and worth investing in, but we're spending more and getting less.
Too much of what is called 'education' is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.
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.
When it comes to college education, American families are paying more and getting less.
Education is the cheap defense of nations.
