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.

Good point. I always thought that schools and the government should be run like businesses. And if they fail, fire the CEO and bring in someone new to make changes.
