An undetected thief lurks in America's classrooms: funding for
public education. Dynamic instruction, robust learning, and student
futures are stolen when funding for public education is inadequate
and inequitable. The devastating impact of this thievery is
examined throughout this book. Student engagement with the
potential and promise of traditional public education is stolen by
funding formulas crafted by state legislatures. Theft in the
classroom results when these funding schemes misdirect and
disconnect the resources required to educate all US students.
Called upon to deal with an ever-changing cascade of mandates,
standards, legislation, and counterproductive testing marathons,
but provided with funding so inadequate that instruction is often
little better than anemic "test prep," public educators in pursuit
of the common good are robbed by insufficient funding. Although
funding for public education is a topic unlikely to command
frequent public discussion, no topic is more consequential for
achievement, adequacy, and social justice in the learning, lives,
and futures of America's children and young people.
