The education industry has never been better or more successful. Each year more money per, ahem, 'student' is being raised and each student is signed up for ever more years learning less and less.

Some numbers. The Los Angeles Unified School District admits to spending $20,000 per student per year. This does not include state and federal money that is won to support this industry, its workers and agents. I suspect that the cost of a certified high school graduate in LA is running at half a million plus( all moneys spent, divided by certified graduates).
The Newark, New Jersey education industry is so successful that in brings in nearly one billion dollars in revenues for workers, and local education industry supporters. Newark graduates, at unknown quality but I think we can guess it is low, two thousand students a year. So, a real honest to God High Scholl graduate runs over 750K.

A recent article on Chicago two year local collage industry reports success of %17 graduation after six years of revenue reaping. The head of the collage, said she was unaware of this success and didn't get, nor keep, such good numbers.

Following the socialistic Soviet production model, American citizens can expect every and ever higher profit, and increasing size and success of their education industries.

Scholl= school.

English be easy, math be hard.

It succeeds at its real goals:

"All we want is less to do
More time to do it
And more money for not getting it done."

What a waste of money. Many LA students are illegals that couldn't care less about their education. They were happy to leave school to march on May 1. (And many of the marchers were from schools whose average SAT scores were ~800!).. Again, a huge waste of money!
