Video; Nostalgia: School:" It is more than just the money"

Nostalgia: 2006: Art Phillips asks Rep. Brett Davis to explain the results of various school districts with wide differnences of per pupil aid. Is it just the money?

In his daily interaction with everyday citizens as well as students, Art Phillips showed that it was more than just the salary, more than just the funding that got results---

This dialogue with Brett Davis is quite revealing---and it does reveal a mystery of educational funding---that some very small schools, that do not get the highest amount of funding, compete like crazy---I always assumed it was committed teachers and mentors and a committed community that made the difference.

Especially today, October 10, 2008, as our community, nation, and world face financial uncertainty and dispair, I think these words should give us determination to stick together in difficult funding times and keep our eye on the many intangibles that we do have in our arsenal.
