LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Nevada hardly spends too much on education

As a former Clark County School District teacher, I don’t believe we are spending too much on education today; just the opposite.

When we compare our public education spending with other industrialized nations in the world we habitually find ourselves at the bottom of the rating. Yet we are expected to compare the end products with this embarrassment in funding.

Yes, there are problems in our public education system. These problems definitely need our attention and resolve.

But to state we are spending too much now is ludicrous. If you want to demand more, you are going to have to pay more, a lot more, to get the quality the public expects.
