Governments always want more money for schools. Think back, during your lifetime, no matter your age, you will remember the government saying that public education is failing our children and that, if we only spend more money on education, it will improve. This usually means building more schools and raising teach salaries. The premise being that a child learns better in new school named after a benefactor, and that a child especially learns better if the teacher is highly paid. Well, that has worked out great over the last two hundred years hasn’t it?
North Carolina started a lottery. To get it approved, they said all the profits would go toward education. How has that worked out? It hasn’t; there are still pleas about needing more money for education. The lottery money was not used in addition to what was already being spent on education; it only replaced a portion of it. The money that would have normally been spent on education was then freed for pork barrel spending.
Money for education is merely a political ploy to fool the voters; voters who, due to the education system, apparently are under educated and easily fooled.
