We Need to Make Learning, Not Money, the Priority of Education

Although we spend more and more each year to educate our children in primary and secondary public schools, the graduates are coming out less and less prepared to enter the workforce and strike out on their own.

Republican communications specialist Steve Guest published a “shot and chaser” post on X last week that illustrates one reason for this problem.

“Shot: ‘3,000 teachers beg for donations for basic classroom supplies,'” he began, and referred to a New York Post story reporting that thousands of New York City teachers are asking for donations on fundraising platforms to pay for supplies that the school system doesn’t provide.
