The Los Angeles Unified School District admits to spending $20,000 per student per year.

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!

Something like half the 'utes don't even graduate. So, a graduate cost about $40,000 a year, or more.

All we hear, and little of that, is dollars per student. We never hear of cost per graduate, or cost per some type of academic standard.

If NEA, public schools were thought of as factories, their products would be world class crap and highly expensive at that.

But whether teachers or taxpayers realized it or not, teaching and student learning is just a myth. The school industry is a racket to transfer money from the public to the teachers, admin, and contractors as a reward for their votes. No difference than poor to welfare, engineers to defense/road building, and such.
