We spend more money our military than any other country and yet we are continuing to fall behind educationally.
In china, teachers are held in the highest regard and are supported, here in the states it is quite the opposite.
I propose that we pass a law requiring that every dollar spent on our military is matched for eduction spending. The military protects us now, an educated country protects itself for decades to come.
Education is such a low priority for our country with spending cuts for schools, teachers, even NASA. What's the point of being the strongest country in the world if we can't compete intellectually?
