Your Take On Proposed State Cuts To K-12 Education

Congratulations to for guessing the correct answer in our last .

Fort Hunt Patch readers had a lot to say about an article detailing potential cuts to K-12 education  in Fairfax County.

“The problem with these cuts is that they are too small: they aren't even a decent start. A $6m cut to the Fairfax County schools is about one-fourth of 1% of the total budget. That's less than a penny out of every dollar spent in the name of education.”

--Eric Johnson

“Our government officials are dooming us to generations of undereducated, unemployable citizens if they choose to cut education funding. Our nation's place in the world depends on its citizens and future leaders. If they are ill-prepared to face the demands of a highly technical society, then we must resign ourselves to being a second-rate nation watching from the wings as other nations take the world stage.”

--Denise Madar

“Education spending does not equal quality education, and cutting education spending does not equal poor or compromised education. To think so is just not thinking very critically”

--Anne Duncan
