Why not just have every parent directly pay for their own child's education.  Tack the bill on the parents' tax returns!

Dennis,
You say we need a "straight" approach to funding education. You are recommending an education trust fund. Where would it get its money from? Would it have more than Ohio's education budget has now? If so, where would the additional money come from? And, if you don't raise taxes, what activity gets "shorted" to provide this extra money?

The Green Party Plan to Fix Education Funding In Ohio

Ted Strickland's model to fund education is confusing and impossible to fund.

What we need is a straight approach to funding education.

I believe we need to remove education funding from the general revenue fund by creating an education trust fund. This fund would be responsible for funding primary, secondary, and higher education. It would earmark part of the state income tax, sales tax, and the commercial activity tax as it's funding source.
