Penn State only charges a little over $11,000 a year in tuition. Jeez.

Lets see;

$14,642 x 20 students = $292,840 that each classroom brings into the system.

Wow.

Is this before or after the NY court ordered the state government to pay schools more ?

And what kind of results are they getting?

The standard leftwing answer to poor school performance is the same as with any other statist program: throw more money at it. But a close study shows there is very little correlation between expenditures and performance.

When I hear teachers' unions decrying that State X ranks 46th in the nation on per pupil spending, I figure State X is probably getting more for the education buck than State Y that ranks 4th.
