Over-reliance on strictly economic justifications has already begun to hurt the quality and range of education at every level of American life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
America needs education reform on all levels to expand quality schools, build on past successes, and lower college debt.
The greatest obstacle to those who hope to reform American education is complacency.
The anti-elitist values in America, I think, are very destructive to education.
As we develop and get quicker with technology in America, it's like we're downgrading if you look at the investment in education... that's the thing that worries me.
At the end of the day, we have an economy that works for the rich by cheating the poor, and unequal schools are the result of that, not the cause.
When someone has the desire to go to school and has the ability but can't get into our schools, that's wrong. Education drives the economy and the quality of life.
The failures that we have are sometimes expensive educations.
When it comes to college education, American families are paying more and getting less.
We should be trying to make education less expensive, not more.
It's great to talk about how good things are now. But we can't sit on our laurels and expect that our time will sustain itself if we don't do a better job on issues like education... It's absolutely the case that the low cost of college tuition that I was able to enjoy and the financial aid I was able to receive made my education possible.
