You really need to stop blaming President Bush for all that is wrong and open your eyes and mind. I know that is hard to libs like you.

If you want to see what spending more money does for education and the financial strength of a government all you have to do is look at California. We spend an enormous amount of money for education and the more we spend the worse it gets. This country can't afford to spend more on education, but more importantly tell me where the U.S. Constitution states that the federal government is responsible for education, it does however state that they are responsible for the defense of this nation.

It's time to do away with the public school system as we know it. The teachers unions and the administrators have such a strangle hold on the system there is no way it will ever be fixed with money alone.

No way this is going to help anything. Schools are failing because people are failing and it starts with the parents, not the school. Get that right and you get it all right. SCRAP this BS thinking, SCRAP the budget, make the parents go to class.

K-12 requires some alignment with todays world and active participation from parents. Higher education is getting messy. Kind of capitalism on steriods in terms of cost without incremental benefit to society if you compare outputs from couple of decades back. Number of other countries are producing excellent results comapred to US in many areas of higher education.

Thowing money at a failed educational system makes no sense to me. Throwing money at the same systems overhhaul might work, if the unions and tenure policy are taken out of the equation. It seems they have only promoted lower standards, which students pick up on and accept as the norm. American education needs higher standards in the public schools, and not just on paper.
