Seriously, how anyone can say the schools need more money, and that'll solve the problem, bewilders me. Fiscal responsibility from the money they take from me by force is more like it. Has the amount we spend on education ever gone down? Money and results seem to be totally unrelated in the government education system.
Has the price of a good pair of shoes ever gone down?
Do money and results seem related in the private education system? A good prep school is now $25,000+
I would agree that just throwing money at a problem is bad. However, spending money wisely is good. To do this takes an enormous force of will on the part of the community. The problem is -- many communities are breaking down into an every man for himself thing.

We agree on something!
our local school is outperforming neighboring districts even though they spend less per student.
