Could We Just Get One Thing Straight?

via Could We Just Get One Thing Straight? (Cato-at-liberty).

John McCain has done a pretty good job of making school choice at least the rhetorical center of his education plan. He has also been fairly clear that spending is not the key to educational effectiveness. Too bad he hasn’t gotten the latter message to his running mate.

Cato is very much right on this issue, we’ve been pumping money in to public schools without any meaningful increase in results. Public Education is essential to a functional democracy and we need to find a way to increase how effective our schools are. McCain is on board, but it appears that Palin missed the memo.
