Whenever I hear critics of schools or those who say that providing more money to schools is simply 'throwing good money after bad' I cringe. I cringe because that simply isn't true.
Over the long haul, which is a must, schools having access to a treasure of funds is absolutely essential. Looked at it another way, show me some of the best performing schools (however one wants to measure it) and I'll bet you that they have ample money available for all sorts of resources...material and human.
How else can schools provide 1 to 1 computer work in the classroom? How else will schools be able to provide essential elective course work in Music, FACS, Tech Ed., Shop, Foreign Languages and Art? How else will schools be able to recruit and maintain a top flight teaching staff?
Money matters!
