Herbert Budget Should Be Approved


It is a quandary that likely is at least as old as Plato's open-air academy. How to make the most efficient use of time and money to do the best job educating the next generation? If the answer were easy, it is unlikely that we would still be looking for it after more than 2,000 years.
That hasn't stopped members of the Utah Legislature from becoming a never-ending font of ideas that they are eager to sell as the silver bullet cure for public education. From private-school vouchers to iffy charter schools, from ever-changing testing regimes and over-simplistic grading systems to the idea that the next wave of technology will solve all of our problems.
