Why does the Pentagon pay $400 for a toilet seat?
Because of bad, post-17th Amendment ratification trade deals for the last 70+ years, working parents are probably too tired at the end of the day to concern themselves with what alleged bribed school administrators are paying for school supplies.
Next question...
To be fair homeschooling is only vastly cheaper if you don’t count what the teacher (mom) would make if she had a 9-5 job. This can very greatly but lets say (based on skills and education) This is from 30 to 100k. That means if you have between 1 and 4 kids your actual costs are between 7.5k per kid and 100k per kid. That is a pretty wide range.
But still, only counting the cost of books for homeschoolers isn’t exactly fair.
Yes we homeschool and with ‘lost wages’ it costs us way more per kid than this article claims.
Because it takes a lot of money and time for propaganda to get permanently established in the young brain.
Unions, in both direct costs and the costs of poor pedagogy, bureaucracy, and the special ed industrial complex are the three big costs.
there is one thing that is not being discussed here.
In the days gone by, regular kids went to regular school.
Bad and hard to handle kids went to training school and boarded.
Or they dropped out and went to work.
Mentally and physically handicapped kids went to special schools or lived in centers for their disabilities.
A better question would be “Why does it cost SO MUCH to NOT educate a child in America?” To say that we are educating anyone via our educational system is a stretch.
Oh, so this wan't anything but shameless showboating by leebron. Figures...
Answer:
Because the Federal government unConstitutionally usurped States’ Rights by taking control of education, and uses it to always increase taxes to feed the Bureacratic State, and to always worsen education to produce Useful Idiots.
All other answers are camouflage.
Because stupid never comes cheap!
On the first bar graph compare the portion of money that goes to general administration in D.C. versus any of the other bars. And D.C. schools are at the bottom of the barrel.
