Asbury Park spends about $32,000 per year per student...

Newark spends about $29,000 per year per student...

For a 25-student classroom, that's $750,000.

If you figure $150,000 for the teacher, salary and benefits, that still leaves a $600,000 surplus per classroom.

Repeat that for each classroom in a given school.

WTF does it all go?

WTF does it all go?

Corruption, it goes towards salaries of administration, support personal, contractors, etc. You have secretaries to every "administrator" in the building, you have infrastructure for all of these bureaucrats all of that adds up in costs.
