[quote=Anonymous]If you look at public policy in general, it’s important that we have a public school system that sets students up for success.   We have a shrinking middle class, unfortunately.  And it looks  more and more likely that our kids’ generation will require, at minimum, a college education just to have a good shot at being and staying middle class.  It’s unbelievable and shocking to me how many have fallen out of the middle class over the past 5 years, and the numbers are highest for minorities.     With that in mind, I think everyone in society, regardless of income or parental status, has a right to discuss the public policy choices that impact our schools.  We need our schools to set this next generation up for success.  That will mean preparation for college or some other sort of additional training beyond K-12.   I think it’s a legitimate question  whether increasing teacher salaries at this time somehow benefits kids more than spending money on something like lower teacher:student ratios, evidence-based curricula, and the ability to offer differentiated instruction.        [/quote]
