At a moderate calculation, among a million of persons inhabiting the metropolis, there are, at least, twenty-five thousand children who attend these schools, and cost their parents as many pounds sterling, per annum.
For their [the children’s] learning, be liberal. Spare no cost, for by such parsimony all is lost that is saved
We look at education as an investment. They [the conservative Republicans] see it as an expense.
Nothing brings more money to the Treasury of the United States, than investment in education of the American people.
A third of our kids, after we spend more per student than any country in the world other than a couple rounding errors, 30 percent are college- and/or career-ready.
We don't have the money in America to keep paying for the education of everybody else's children from around the world. We simply don't have the financial resources to do that.
You can spend a lot of money on education, but if you don't spend it wisely, on improving the quality of instruction, you won't get higher student outcomes.
I strongly believe that more money needs to be spent in the classroom.
