The face of education has changed dramatically. Educators, not politicians, should make the decisions that will impact how and what our children learn. There should be a different way to finance our schools so that property taxes are not tied to school funding. The current system pits property owners against the schools when they should be working together to improve education. The costs of higher education are totally out of control. Tuition costs should reflect a student's ability to pay. No one should graduate with thousands of dollars of debt.
