Gotta disagree about education. Too much of an opportunity for administrations to attempt to skew the curriculum to their own views. (Intelligent Design, anyone? How about the fraudulent hysteria of "Global Warming?") Funding could be used as a whip to support/ignore the "mantra du jour

Ok but as is those that are doing the work of teaching have there hands tied. The good teachers are being shoe horned into having to teach things they have a passion for but can't expand on. If it is not in there teaching guide they can't teach it. If the guide is out of date or has in correct information they can't correct it. We need to have teacher respected and turned from the just teach the kids what they need to pass to teach them to excel. At the same point merit pay and vouchers are needed. If you are not a good teacher you don't get a pay raise. If you are a great teacher and bring passion to the classroom year after year. I want you to have a pay raise, bonus and hell add in a new car for the top teacher in a county. Make it so people will want to fight to be a teacher. Make it so the best ones are rewarded

Keep in mind that the teacher's unions have absolutely no interest in the children, just as an automaker's union has no interest in the car company or the product. Their sole goal is protecting the interests of their union members even to the detriment of the school system. This is why bad teachers keep their jobs in what should be a competitive environment like any other.
