Maybe if we started supporting our schools instead of cutting their budgets? Right now most public school teachers are facing larger classrooms resulting in less individual attention for student needs, a lot of them have to spend their own money on classroom supplies and they're all facing stringent requirements on test results meaning they're not teaching students to learn so much as teaching them to pass tests.
The problem isn't that they're bad teachers. The problem is that they're doing the best they can with increasing restrictions on how to accomplish the goals set for them.
Our state government in Ohio has cut the funding for education to the bone. Just lately they are talking about increasing the funds for education. We are a red state here and the politicians in Columbus are making sure the increase in funding is out there where we all can read it. Funny they never would talk about the cuts!
