The more we spend on education the dumber our students get, to get where I'm going with this. Mathematically
if we reduce school spending our child's learning should go up. Yet we continue to to the same thing over and
over again which is spend more money on public schools. I have moved around quit a bit in my adult life,
seems anywhere we had decent schools for my girls we also had parochial schools in the community. The village
we lived in when we first moved to Wisconsin was less than 2000 people. Their schools were always in the top
10% of state, I think it's because there were two parochial schools in that community, so much for the theory
that private schools hurt the public schools by pulling the "good" students away. Being one of those right
wing fanatics I sent my daughters to a parochial school. The school they attended had a per studnet budget of
about 1/2 of the local public schools yet the school always out scored the public school in the state
standardized tests. This is where I usually go in to a rant about public teacher's unions, I'm not going to
do that today. I had an opportunity to get a teaching certificate with my AG degree. It took 180 credits for
me to get my AG B.S., would of taken more than 90 additional credits to get the teaching certificate. I
sometimes wonder if the problems we have are related because our teachers are taught more process (how to
teach) that sustenance (what they're teaching). I feel the same about a lot of businesses, that the MBA
running the show understands business but doesn't understand the product they are producing.

To fix schools- 1-implement a voucher system allowing lower and middle class families to take their children
out of a failing school and enroll them in alternatives. 2- change the requirements for teaching credentials
so any one with a B.S or B.A. in a subject and an associate's degree in education can teach, placing the
emphasis on the math, science or history that is being taught.
