Walker's corporate tax cuts put Wisconsin per pupil spending below national average.

Here the guy never finished college..couldn't handle it. No wonder he hates education.

Neither could Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, those guys failed miserably.

Report Student-to-teacher ratios rising in Wisconsin schools
The number of teachers employed in Wiscconsin schools has fallen in recent years, resulting in higher student-to-teacher ratios and less individual attention for kids, says a new report.

According to a report released Wednesday by theWisconsin Budget Project, a liberal group, the number of teachers in Wisconsin's public schools dropped by 4,300 over the 7-year period between 2004-'05 and 2011-'12 - at a time when public-school enrollment increased slightly.

Using federal data from the National Center for Education Statistics, the group points out that Wisconsin had 15.5 students per teacher in the 2011-'12 school year, compared to 14.3 students-per-teacher in 2004-'05.

Wisconsin's latest federally reported student-to-teacher ratio is still lower than the national average, according to the report.

More recent, state-level data from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction tells a similar story.

Last year, in 2013-'14, there were 100,977.2 full-time staff in Wisconsin's public schools, including administrators, teachers, other licensed employees, aides and support staff. That worked out to 11.6 full-time staff members per 100 Wisconsin public-school students, according to DPI data.

Five years ago, in the 2009-'10 school year, there were 104,123 full-time staff in Wisconsin's public schools. That worked out to 12 full-time staff members per 100 students.

Student enrollment has increased slightly in Wisconsin over the past five years for which data is available, according to state figures.

Last year, there were 873,531 students enrolled in Wisconsin's public schools, up slightly from 871,262 students in the 2009-'10 school year.

Apparently the change in the student/teacher ratio is negligible. And that's from the latest study listed.

Still can't be too bad, though, even with the figures you're apparently pulling out of your ass.

And as you can see, I used a liberal source to prove the ratio is still lower than the national average!

Walker budget puts Wisconsin per-pupil spending below national average

And this is for the First Time Ever!

Maybe Scotty wants to become President so that he can lower the ratio for the entire country, thereby Wisconsin will not look so bad.

GOOD GRIEF!

And this is one of the many problem with conservative ideologues, who adhere blindly to failed conservative dogma, in this case failed conservative economic dogma.

Reckless, unwarranted tax cuts just for the sake of 'cutting taxes' will usually have an adverse effect on schools, social programs, and local communities, where conservative fiscal dogma is often contrary to responsible governance.

'Cutting taxes' as some sort of a 'magic bullet' for a state or local community’s economic woes is ridiculous and unfounded.

A pragmatic approach is always best, which may or may not include tax cuts, but just don't 'cut taxes' merely to conform to political dogma.

So, what was the 'adverse effect' on schools?

 

[blackhawk]

Yes it has been proven over and over again that spending more money solves all problems (sarcasm) maybe people should worry more about how wisely money is being spent instead of much is being spent.

Eh, what does it matter how much we spend? Our educational system is not fixed, and throwing money at it hasn't helped.

you really should do some research

Testing prior to the WALKER EXPERIMENT.

Liar

but it's you, so you knew that

"That is the ticket, not throwing more money to teachers unions."

Lame talking point. Walker has all but gotten rid of the unions. They have no bargaining power so your post is now blown up. If you truly believe teachers are the culprits then get your lazy butt in the classroom full of disruptive kids and make geniuses of them. Those who complain are the ones who would fail miserably trying to do the job.

"per pupil spending below national average" for the FIRST TIME EVER. The pupil scoring will go down from here.

That is your assumption because you hate Walker.

It is worth noting you are attacking him for decreasing spending (a good thing) without showing a whit of evidence as to decreasing effectiveness.

IOW, your argument is absolute bullshit.

The evidence is that the per pupil ratio is now below national average. We will see if the scores do the same.

And if they dont will you admit Walker was right and support him for president?
ha ha. Of course not. You will find something else to carp about. Because you dont give a shit about education or anything else. It's just an excuse to bash a Republican front runner.

Illinois raised taxes. Remind me how well the state is doing.

Students reduced to beating each other for lunch money. Teachers cowering in their lounges. You know, the usual liberal scare stories.
None of that will happen. But libs are rooting for failure, as they always do. Sad really, they care so little about students.

So.

We spend entirely to much on education. Education that turns out kids who can't even read.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Someone needs to undo the democrat sabotage of our educational system. We spend the most on the planet yet our kids fall further and further behind every year

Odd they're tied when Illinois has 17 Gold Medals and Wisconsin has only 2.

Besides, the cuts are recent. Give it a little time. For Wisconsin, it's a race to the bottom.

We have had one Wisconsin resident post in this thread who said the state is on the way down. I would think that person knows what they are talking about, since they unlike all the RW loons that have invaded the thread, actually live there.

 

[BluesLegend]

We know the money doesn't go to the students, the public employee unions line their pockets with the money.

You have to admire Walker, he causes severe butt hurt to left loons

Location doesn't prevent you from being a partisan hack and/or an idiot.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Gee, the schools need some work, but they rank # 2 in the nation on ACT scores.
Wisconsin s ACT test scores keep high U.S. ranking

Now can we compare them to Baltimore's failing schools, which have the third highest cost per student in the nation.

No one from Baltimore is running for President. Scotty is. I am sure he has made all Wisconsin's proud that he has now given them a second class school system.

"LET ME BECOME PRESIDENT SO I CAN DO THE SAME FOR AMERICA!"

If Baltimore, DC and Chicago are spending the most per student, compare their results vs Wisconsin. Walker will be able to show that spendiibg the most money per student does not yield the best results. You say Wisconsin is now second class. By your logic, Baltimore and DC are top class???
