According to a new poll by the education research journal Education Next, 65 percent of the American public wants education spending to increase.
Unless, of course, they are asked this question: “Do you think that taxes to fund public schools around the nation should increase, decrease or stay about the same?” In which case that figure drops significantly-- to just 35 percent.
Apparently a lot of the public must believe that the tooth fairy is picking up the tab.
Maybe we could direct some of that school spending toward economic education?
