Theres no particular relationship between spending and educational results. Most education spending is actually on salaries, and thats allocated according to political muscle.

I think we spend too much on K-12 education a.k.a. teachers' salaries. It's the only industry where you never see any productivity increases.

Hey, nothing grows to the sky. There will be a successor movement. Right now its nascent.

I suppose the White House thinks it's doing what Big Business wants, but it will lead to vastly increased taxes, because all these guest workers are to be allowed to bring their children.

Teacher unions are an interest group that acts in defense of their own interests, which means the union bosses' interests, not the members.

Pierre Trudeau was too much of a professional politician to be described as a good man, nor, it can be argued despite much pubilicity to the contrary, was he a particularly clever or even wise one. But he was a great man, perhaps the gratest Canada has produced in this century.

The problem with K-12 education is socialism and the solution is capitalism.

I regard many of the neoconservatives as personal friends, but that's not stopped them from behaving with extraordinary viciousness towards those of us who raised the immigration issue.
