Spending Too Much Time and Money on Education?

Americans are increasingly educated, but the resulting certificates - high school diplomas and university degrees - seem to be losing value in the labor market

Americans going to college are seriously injured. First, as a taxpayer: Since the 1950s, the state and federal education budgets have increased rapidly. Second, as a consumer: regular college students pay $ 17,000 per year at school, and students with loans pay more than $ 23,000 per year in debt. Third, as workers: In 1970, volunteers with a college degree were 11% elite, but now nearly a third of adults have a degree.

Given the high school diploma, even a bachelor 's degree or even a graduate school is no longer a ticket to a middle - class life, these years' education is delaying the beginning of careers, our society has too much time and money Have you spent education?

There is a financial debate about the use and distribution of government funds for special education. Three points about this topic is that we spend too much money, we do not have enough money to invest or can not get the proper money. The first problem is that the amount of money spent on children who need special assistance is enough to cover a large group of general education students and even to reduce the budget in the general course to feed children is there. The evidence that funds for special education is inadequate is the lack of teachers, the burning of teachers, and the limited educational tools available to each student. The argument that money is spent in various ways suggests that a lot of money is being held, but it takes too much time for office work.

We like to spend a lot of time discussing education, but we really do not like to spend so much money on education. According to the public financial record, we only spend about 2% of federal budget every year for education. If education can (and can) get the level of conversation from policy makers, we need to put money in our mouth. Currently, in Illinois, the gap between the highest funded school district and the lowest school for each student is approximately $ 22,000. This means that students can earn more than $ 22,000 in assistance, resources, facilities and potential quality of education than other children, just because families can earn their living expenses .

In 1985, in Kansas City, Missouri, the judge ordered the school district to raise taxes and ordered more investment in public education. Expenditure is greatly increased and each school district student uses more money than any other 280 school districts in the country to make these possibilities "dreamy" reality. This high level expenditure has lasted more than 10 years, but the academic performance of the school district has not improved. Advocates of public schools make it easier to educate students at private schools and to expel or accept students behind their colleagues in academic performance and behavior, but not in public schools, so both examples I said that it is misleading. I must keep trying to educate these students and these students
