“Private schools cost a lot of money, more then the average citizen has. That is why the cost is spread out over ALL the citizens.”
The private school I sent my oldest daughter to cost less than half as much as the Kansas City school district spends per student every unit. Kansas City also has a private foundation that gives scholarships so kids can go to private or parochial schools. It can be done and public schools are nothing more than indoctrination centers.
It cost MUCH less than half.
If your school district is like mine,new building costs, and land acquisition is not included in the cost of educating a government school child. They are bond issues. Neither are the retired teachers pension and health benefits. Retired teachers a simply considered retired “state workers” and not included in the government school budget. Also, our district uses MANY services of the county and this too is off budget. For example many repairs and lawn service is on the county expense rolls.
By the way, my county is building a new $50 MILLION dollar high school. Not one dime of that is included in the yearly estimates of how much it costs to educate a government child.
