There are many reasons to educate our society, Education is critical to the success
and survival of our communities and our country. Never in my life did I think I would witness, along with many others, the dismantling and devaluation of our educational system. This dismantling is not about efficiency. It is about social control. Education is about preparing children to become individuals who can communicate, be creative, think about/discuss many topics, realize the value education plays in our communities and in our civic participation. Removing our education foundation, which promotes the common good, will, in the end, be destructive for all. We now live in a GLOBAL world. The reach of decisions like dismantling the educational system will be worldwide. Do we not see that other countries and enemies are paying attention to what we do? Countries who are well respected and want to maintain global significance will certainly not destroy their educational systems. China has said, on more than one occasion, that our country is in decline. Eliminating financial support, access to quality educational materials, scholarships, monitoring of the quality of our system and educational success of our citizens is one way to assure that we will be weakened as a country. We need to change course before it is too late. Nancy Lodl
