I believe that this country owes a basic education to it's youth, regardless of a parent's ability to pay.
If we equally funded the school districts for a level quality of education, then children would at least have a chance. I used to find it appalling in DC that the DC schools could not open on time because the buildings were literally unsafe.
People I worked with had their kids "lists of needs" that they had to go out and buy. What about those kids whose parents couldn't buy the stuff?
How would you like to be that kid? How long would it be before you just gave up?

Teachers should be rated on effectiveness and paid on that basis and also by their continuing education. Not just getting a masters in education, but in new teaching methods.

If we had good public schools that met the same standards in every community, then people wouldn't be compelled to flock to a particular district or probably even to send their kids to private schools.

And I also feel that public schools give kids a chance to deal with a cross section of people, not just kids in their same socio-economic bracket or just their race or just their religion.

I don't really care if you agree with me or not. This is one of my "core beliefs".
