DEBORAH MATIDS COMMENTARY On public education One of the things President Clinton says he wants to do in his second administration is to facilitate post-secondary education for any American who wants it. Higher education for all is a fine idea, but I'd like to offer the president this suggestion: Start at the beginning. Start by fixing public education at its roots, that is, kindergarten through grade 12. As consolation to my fellow tax-weary Americans, let me emphasize that this proposal does not necessarily mean putting more money into the system, although more money usually helps. Contrary to arguments that you can't buy quality, you can. In fact, quality is precisely what money can get us. It's money that buys the plaster to repair the crumbling walls and new fixtures for the decrepit, dysfunctional restrooms. Money buys enough books and supplies so that no teacher and child are left wanting. Money buys an arts club, a choir, a dance team, and other extracurricular activities that children need if the word "education" is not to be a farce. But again, my wish for the president's wish list is not ·a money thing. Rather, it's an accountability thing. I want the president to order a national audit of public education to determine why, with billions of dollars pouring into school districts, so many children are in schools where the ceiling is buckling, the water fountains - don't work, supplies are skimpy, and classrooms are crammed to - -~ the shutters. Shame of shames, some schools are even rationing toilet paper. Altogether, these disgraceful conditions create a bleak BECKY GILES • setting that contradicts the enthusiasm and optimism children are supposed to have-and need-in order to progress. When test COMMENTARY results disappoint, the dropout and illiteracy rates frighten, and the schools fail to deliver, what do we do? Some of us want public education to not only survive, but to thrive. We're not ready to give up. But we do want some answers Quoters and narrow minds... and som e changes, both of which, I suspect, lead to the I rw1 the risk of endangering my life when I feel hard time understanding. This has nothing to do administrative offices of most school districts. the urge to burst out into song about having two with the quoting factor, but it deals with the fact For example, the Washington, D.C. Public School District turntables and a microphone. It is funny to see the that sometimes you get sucked into situations you spends two to three times more per student than the average reaction from people when I start quoting songs really have no desire to be involved in. American school. This should mean the schools are bustling, produce by Beck.
