Don't Taz Me Bro said:Washington D.C. Public Schools.... not the least bit surprising. That school district is a black hole of waste and malfeasance. They spend close to $25k per student per year, which is an outrageously high figure. While it's obviously not good that our military lost track of $9 billion, you seem to suggest that we should be shifting some of that money to D.C. schools and we shouldn't be. They don't need it. They don't even need half of what they're getting. They just need to learn how to spend it right.
So who should build more charter schools? Where's the private sector if they are so adamant that government spending shouldn't go to fix existing public schools and guarantee the best curriculum for students? It's the same old story: For Heaven's sake, no more government spending on education, but hey, don't expect private enterprises to do a thing about it either. Which is why the USA is now ranked dead last in reading; 27th in math; 22nd in the sciences. It's pathetic.
