Seems to be common sense. Something grossly missing in the socialist party!
It's interesting that libs tell us how important education is to the economy, economic growth, job growth, and every other positive impact on the entire state. Challenge libs have is doing ANYTHING outside government monopoly schools. Unless it involves SPENDING MORE, unending more, on government monopoly, libs have completely closed minds. Libs allow for NO OTHER alternative than government monopoly, big education. Allowing parents to choose schools for their children is verboten! Never shall parents be allowed to choose! Only government bureaucrats WITHIN the education establishment should be allowed to determine where your children attend school and whether that school meets the politically determined standards. And ONLY someone who has spent a lifetime in the education establishment is qualified to lead said government monopoly.
So, listen to your local lib pol and you will figure out just how confused, mixed up, and misleading their blatherings really are. Education excellence is good for the economy. But doing anything to improve education is forbidden. Spending unlimited funds on education, without oversight, is the only way to make sure government monopoly schools are 'successful'. And the definition of 'successful' will change according to the dictates of lib pols, both elected officials and the libs within the monopoly. No one except a lib should ever be allowed to lead an education monopoly. No change is allowed, except to make tests easier so it LOOKS like things are improving.
Oh, and don't forget, you MUST allow THEM to spend even more. Whatever is current is insufficient. Regardless of how much 'current' is, it's not enough. And if demons cut education spending, you WILL ignore it. When Republicans INCREASE spending, you WILL see it as the cut that libs tell you it is. Republicans are determined to kill education cuz they hate kids, hate minorities, and hate those who refuse to learn to speak English! You just know that's true. So, only libs, only government monopoly, and spend more on it regardless of how bad it is. You'll be told how good it is and you WILL believe it!
