I don't understand this argument. We spend much more money on school than our competitors already and yet we are falling behind. Its the attitude of the students, our parents, and our culture that need to be changed. And that starts with better teachers. We don't need more money, it just needs to be spent differently.

And frankly, the government shouldn't decide how our school systems are funded. That should be entirely up to the states. It shouldn't even be a topic with the presidency.
