Hoffman, Michael J.; Wiggall, Richard L.; Dereshiwsky, Mary I.; Emanuel, Gary L. – eJEP: eJournal of Education Policy, 2013
Adequate funding for the nation's schools to meet the call for higher student achievement has been a litigious issue. Spending on schools is a political choice.

GIDDINGS, MORSELEY G.; MACKLER, BERNARD – 1965
IF YOUNGSTERS ARE TO BE HELPED AND TO BE OFFERED EQUALITY OF EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY, THE TAGS, MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND MYTHS WHICH HAVE BLOCKED PAST PATHS TO PROGRESS MUST BE DISCARDED AND AVOIDED.
