What is the value?

What is the value of an education? It is hard to define. Some people find value in students progress through the various levels of school successfully. Others think it is in test scores. Some think it is what college students get into. But it is this time of year when we look at budgets and teacher pay that we forget about student success. We think about taxes and our pockets.
I don't believe that the value of education should be put in line with our personal finances but it is. When will we change the system and stop basing salaries and education budgets on our taxes and ability to pay. Don't we limit our children's future by our willingness to pay for their education?
We do want our children to be more successful than we have been, right?
