NEA: Money Changes Everything

From "NEA president Weaver offers his vision for public education," Boston Globe, July 28, 2002:

Q. What's gone wrong with public education?

A. What's wrong is the funding system. Public education does not have the financial support it needs to be a success.

This is the same tired refrain of the bilingual education lobby when its 'graduates' prove themselves unable to read a menu written in English: $8 billion per year just isn't enough money. I wrote about this phenomenon in "Funding Schools to Fail" last year during the debate on President Bush's education bill.
