I have a very Liberal acquaintance and that’s what he thinks will fix it .... more money. There is no thought the disintegration of the family, the welfare state, or lousy Liberal government intervention that messes up everything it touches, and Libs/Progs/Dems running the failing education system has anything to do with the public education disasters you see in so many places.
It’s interesting, because they don’t seem to want to look at how the per pupil expenditure is often less in private schools than in the public schools, but there is a difference in outcome. Things like parental involvement and discipline being allowed in the classroom are just two things that are different, but expected in private schools. This is not to say there aren’t problems in private schools, but it is obvious that spending more per student doesn’t yield the desired results, why would you throw more money down the drain? It doesn’t solve the problem, because it doesn’t address the problem.
