I find it very difficult watching what is going on in Wisconsin, Ohio and much of the rest of the country as politicians financially dismantle an already struggling education system. Why is it so hard for them to connect the dots between basic education and the country’s standing and ability to compete and survive in the world? Granted, there is a lot to be improved in how our current educational system is functioning, but squeezing teachers (who are often fairly low on the remuneration totem pole to begin with) is incredibly short-sighted/present-thinking.
RSA Animate has an interesting animation on that topic:
