It is evident you are so ignorant about the educational system in the US that you are unaware that per-pupil expenditures vary widely by state and district:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

That the average cost of educating a government K-12 child in the U.S remains MORE than $10,870 per year, per child. This is more than 1/3 the cost of the cost of the military.

This continues to be true. That various state expenditures vary has never been disputed by me.

The bar chart says $8K for 2003. You do know how to read a bar chart, right? Your numbers are from a back of the envelope estimate by some unknown activist. Mine are from the National Science Foundation.

Untrue. When I posted Nebraska stats (which are very close to the national average) you disputed them.

That the average cost of educating a government K-12 child in the U.S remains MORE than $10,870 per year, per child. This is more than 1/3 the cost of the cost of the military.

So its costs $30,000 a year to run the military?

Unreal.
