ICYMI: Kansans Believe Public Dollars
Should Be Invested in Public Schools
KEY QUOTE: “Research shows that policies focused on improving schools — ensuring accountability, setting high standards, testing, providing necessary resources, and so on — lead to real progress.”
-
If Americans base their assessments on facts rather than fiction, public schools deserve fairly high marks.
-
Education is one of the most reliable factors — coming in right behind being born into a wealthy family — that predict a person’s economic success. And a better educated populace allows for economic growth for the larger society.
-
It is not coincidence that Americans’ prosperity has risen in concert with attendance at public grade schools, high schools and colleges.
-
The push to direct public money to private enterprises reduces accountability, sets no or low standards and reallots resources based on politics.
