Why Does Education Reform Always Require More Money?
The Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano is touting her new Education Reform package. She wants the plan to be national, but voluntary. Don’t forget to read the last line of the article, “The plan would require a larger investment of federal education money “accompanied by additional increases at the state and local levels”.”
Why does every reform plan require we taxpayers fork over more money? Edroncation is problem. They are unaccountable to the people and to the Government. The Government just believes everything they say and hands over more money and control to them. How else can you explain a system that is failing and the solution is always give it more money. It’s not the money. It’s the beauracracy that is failing. They are bloated, lazy and self serving. They have lost focus of the kids unless they need them to threaten or blackmail the politicians for more money. They love to say, “it’s for the kids”. When will we learn the money is not getting to the kids. It’s going to the beaurocrats and their bloated system that protects them.
When will Americans wake up and stop the blackmailing of the taxpayers? When will Americans wake up and force the politicians to fix education by getting rid of Edroncation? Fix the problem quickly and forever by funding the child and not Big Ed.

National school plan suggested Pat Kossan and Chip Scutari Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano today will unveil a national plan for education reform that includes universal preschool for children across the country, a standardized curriculum for all 50 states, full-day kindergarten and year-round schools. Napolitano is co-chairwoman of a task force with ties to the Democratic Party that researched new approaches for education in the 21st century. The group concluded that American students need substantially more time in the classroom to compete with children in other countries. The governor, who will make her presentation at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., said much of the plan is about getting children ready for the 21st-century job market. “I want to contribute to the national sense of urgency,” Napolitano said. “The world is changing much faster than our education system. We need to take it up a notch.” The goal of the presentation is to start a debate on the ambitious recommendations. The implication is that national leaders eventually will buy into them. The estimated price tag for the makeover is $325 billion in federal money over the next 10 years. The proposal calls for the money to come from the federal government but does not specify a source. However, the task force suggested that money for the programs could be generated by avoiding tax cuts proposed by Republican leaders, such as the elimination of the nation’s estate tax.
