\u201cWhy should the powerful care? Because the public schools are the place where most people receive their education. If they do as bad a job over the next 25 years as they have over the past 25, all of us can kiss America’s current position in the world goodbye, along with economic prosperity. We’re no longer a giant among pygmies. Our allies and friends now include ferocious competitors, all of whom are building their economic machines on firm foundations of well-educated and trained workers. \u2026 Moreover, the sheltering of upper income children in private schools not only accelerates the deterioration of public education, it hides the consequences from precisely those people who could do something about it.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-search” add_icon=”true” title=”Source Link” tab_id=”1453315828572-dac97b48-68e05381-89e5e888-b5ea”][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]\n
