help children escape poverty and optimistically believe education is part of the answer but how do we spend money?
Our Democratic Party Platform says
An Economy that Out-Educates the World and Offers Greater Access to Higher Education and
Technical Training. Democrats believe that getting an education is the surest path to the middle class, giving all students the opportunity to fulfill their dreams and contribute to our economy and democracy. Public education is one of our critical democratic institutions. We are committed to ensuring that every child in America has access to a world-class public education so we can out-educate the world and make sure America has the world’s highest proportion of college graduates by 2020. This requires excellence at every level of our education system, from early learning through post-secondary education. It means we must close the achievement gap in America’s schools and ensure that in every neighborhood in the country, children can benefit from high-quality educational opportunities
I agree but after billions have been spent on many schools in pockets of poverty the only way teachers and administrators have found to increase test scores is by cheating.
Something is wrong and children remain mired in poverty.
