For Fibbons, "Education First" means his highest priority is to shovel money to GOP (donor) firms who do business with the school districts. For example, construction contractors, testing services, Big Pharma, municipal bond underwriters, and so forth.
For Buckfee it means shoveling education money to the DEM constituencies. Unions, lawyers, counselors, LGBT, nutrition, etc.
Public education is a *political* institution.
For parents who want their kids to actually *learn* something, "education first" means sacrificing to send their kids to PRIVATE schools.
