Bill: Education for All, Education for the Better
Details
Submitted by[?]: Unsubmissive Beluzian Workers Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 4268
Description[?]:
| It's shameful that charter schools are given funding and are established in this nation. This gives the rich the ability to ruin our children's education by cutting costs and operating inefficiently. Being underfunded can undermine the common idea that charter schools are innovative. Though conceptually charter schools are unique, without proper funding, they are not able to support their diverse curriculum with new computers, software, equipment, and laboratories. If funding is limited, teachers may suffer from lower salaries and therefore teacher and administrator turnover may be higher than public schools. It's time that we end the grasp of the big corporations on our education system and to immediately turn to a free for all education system, where knowledge, thinking and skills are valued over money, money money. |
