I have little doubt that education will take a back seat to those entitlement programs.<BR/>As for k-12 or college, I am thinking mostly in terms of k-12. The focus of this post is the basic compulsory education in our country, which only goes until students are 16 anyway (after that, they can drop out). How higher ed is going to be affected by all the cutbacks is pretty unclear to me, but I'm sure it will be hit very hard. At the university we're at, as well as the one my FIL is an administrator of, they've taken 25% funding cuts from the state budget just this year. I think that this is a concern, but not nearly as much of one as the erosion of k-12 education.Robyn M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08885081377174592304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930142685890514338.post-84323550439661780362009-03-14T00:14:00.000-04:002009-03-14T00:14:00.000-04:00I'm wondering how you're coming up with 2017?
