Which has little to do with spending more on education, and more about the federal government going about it the wrong way.
I don't have a problem with making education a primary concern.
I have a problem with them making standardized testing the primary concern.
That's where the fed went wrong.
How about the fed just stays out. That way we don't have to worry about them going wrong. We were fine before there was a Dept of Education at the federal level to begin with.

And defunding education will totally make it better.
It will shift the focus to how to teach better instead of how to spend money. Most of the time you see a politician comment about education, it's about how much to increase the education budget. The national discussion should be about how to improve educational methods, not how much money to spend. We already spend too much for the results we're getting as it is.
2012 GOP slogan suggestion, "Just say no to education"
I just say "No" to school tax levies, the US Discombobulation of Education, the AFT, the NEA and education spending in general.
I was in Burkino Faso and the teacher had only one semester of college. You know what she got paid? Nothing. She slept in one of the huts of the villagers, and then she traveled around the other villages. They gave her food and apparently clothing as well as payment. The "school" was a lean-to. No electricity, no running water and no books. But it had a blackboard and she did science experiments and taught the kids to read and write in German, English and their own language.
Those kids were smarter and more well-behaved than the snobbish foul-mouthed hyper-active corn-fed technology laden little entitlement-sucking pricks running around your schools.
The best thing you could ever do is slash education spending 50%. In that way, you will force schools to re-invent themselves (and for only half the price).
Just saying "No"....

Amen, brothers. Uh, sisters. Brothers & Sisters. Whatever (I'm not good at guessing gender based on monikers).
I think this war on Education by the Republicans started When Bush the younger became President............ They all sat in a room and said........ "obviously no one needs Education if this dumb son of a btch made it to President"............lol
40% of our children are now born out of wedlock. That is the prime reason for our education problem. Too many bastards in school.
