"This report reviews the existing research on the relationship between schools and economic development, and implies that since schools are an important contributor to our economy, education should be viewed as an investment rather than a service that governments provide. Weiss concludes that Americans must closely examine the inputs of a high-quality school that will realize both achievement outcomes for students and also the economic outcomes that are consistently identified as a top priority by American citizens."
