What is the role of schools in the economy, both present and future?

Can school funding be seen as an economic stimulus? If so, how can funding education help the economy? Were should the money be spent? What types of programs should be continued, cut, or created?

By the way, does your school have an Economics course?

  1. School funding can definitely be seen as an economic stimulus, because with that money, the schools are going to buy materials, which will give money to the company they buy from, which stimulates the economy. The money should be spent in some area where it is needed most, like technology and art/music supplies. This will stimulate those businesses so that they can produce more and they won't have to fire anyone. I don't think that any programs should be cut because then any money that was being spent for those programs will not be spent with certain companies. There could be some programs to help students learn how to wisely spend and save money.

    I am not sure, but I think that we do have an Economics/Money Management course at SHS.
