We already spend more money per pupil than any other country. Money isn't the problem with education.

Public Schools Spent $9,138 Per Student in 2006.....


So, multiply that by say 30 (a classroom) and that comes to 274,000 a class. Holey moley.......it's not the money.

It's where the money is being leeched that's the problem.

Well past generations also went to the movies, bought homes and cars etc. on much less. It is not the $ amount it is the value of the $...poor people understand this one very clearly regardless of education.

I agree that money is not the only reason that kids are underachieving...the school only has them for 6 hours a day...the other 18 they are influenced by their families and society.

Private schools receive ~ twice the tuition/student while paying the teachers ~half of what public school teachers make...these schools are almost exclusively church based which collects tax free cash more than 52 times a year. They are not paying their teaches less to be mean.

Public school teachers, whether you think they are properly compensated or not, nowadays almost have to coach or advise an extra curricular activity after school hours in order to keep their jobs. And while they sometimes receive a small stipend, it does not come close to covering their time away from their own kids.

I am humbled almost on a daily basis at how much teachers are spending out of their own pocket to help their students have what they need to succeed.

It may not be the money, but as long as we spend more on the penal system than the education system...well, you get what you pay for.
