[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 379766, member: 789"] Ever taken a hard look at your local school’s budget? In my area there are 1.1 people on the dole per student and the teacher student ratio is 17:1. Your wife probably wouldn’t buying supplies if they took a wire brush to the larded down support ratios. I believe there’s less staff at your local country club that at your local grade school. Our average teacher salary is $50k and we spend $15,500 per student per year. You can do the math but essentially we spend $4 on “other” for every $1 we spend on the teacher. Someone’s living off the fat while our students are being starved. The only member of the school board clamoring for fiscal accountability is stonewalled each year by those protecting their turf. Politics on a local level is just as insidious as the swamp in DC. People are delusional regarding what’s going on. They rate the local schools A or B+ in every category yet performance is average statewide in most categories with 2 areas slightly below the line. The politicans have convinced the unwitting masses everything’s beautiful. It is if your kid is in the high achieving classes. If you just want your kid to be educated at a level to make him functional in the general job market, you’re freaking screwed big time. [/QUOTE]
