He cites three myths about the economic downturn: first, that people are worse off than in the past; second, that the middle class is suffering because of focus on the poor; and third, that government spending causes inflation. Shanker further asserts that school funding should not be cut. Next, Shanker turns to education. He cites a recent report that said private schools are doing better than public schools. Shanker states that this is false, but that the public holds this perception. He urges the audience to change that perception. <span class='read-more'><a href="https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/3759" target="_blank"><strong>&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</strong></a></span></p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/3759#comments American Federation of Teachers Armed Forces Budgeting Business Corporate Support Economics Partnerships in Education Private Schools Reagan, Ronald School Business Relationship Shanker, Albert Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:16:58 -0500 jruss 3759 at https://reuther.wayne.edu https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/3928 https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/3928#comments American Federation of Teachers Charter Schools Corporate Support Educational Experiments Private Schools Shanker, Albert Teacher Certification Teacher Recruitment Teachers--Training of Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:55:30 -0400 jruss 3928 at https://reuther.wayne.edu
