Same crap as always. Give us more money and this time we'll be better ...

This is an extremely simplistic view of achievement. How about good curriculum and motivated students ?

No, in the eyes of people like this, it's always about the money.

How about doing away with the 1800-vintage Prussian military/priesthood educational model entirely and replacing it with self-paced programmed instruction and interactive learning? We could do public education for a twentieth of the current cost.

That is, if public education is actually about education and not the simply the largest and most useless "jobs for votes" program ever invented. ;)
