I may be biased because I am a teacher, but I agree with Krugman. I teach because I believe in the value and importance of public education and the role education plays in our country and preparing for the future. We really need to get our fiscal house in order long-term, but part of that is about using our tax dollars more wisely and effectively. Education is a vital investment in our future. It is the key to long-term economic competitiveness, innovation, and redressing the inequalities in our society.
We should not be addressing whether or not to fully fund education in our country. We should be debating how best to fund it.
