Education reform doesn't need more money. It needs merit based funding and the ability to make sure that we keep good teachers, and can fire bad teachers. As it is now, bad teachers get paid more to go to the "undesirable" schools... while those who want to teach usually get lured to the nicer areas and the private schools. They make less money but are enticed by the better infrastructure and the knowledge that the other teachers are good meaning that they will be able to teach people because there aren't lazy teachers in first and second grade not teaching the skills needed yet still passing people on to third grade.
