CORE's Very Own Lourdes Guerrero Defends Public Education in the Tribune

"Teachers inspire and excite students to learn by showing them the wonderful ways to becoming self-educated. We show students how to share in an exciting world of scientific inquiry and a free exchange of ideas where teachers lead their classes on topics they are personally passionate about. Teachers lead by example as well-respected valued members of a society that is capable of creative solutions during difficult economic times."
She touched on a good point about how much other countries value education way more than America nowadays. Here's all you here about is cuts to education left and right and privatizing it and what not. But if you look at countries especially in Asia or europe and some of the most forthcoming economies in the world, education is at the highest value. Its not even a thought to them, its a given.
