Some schools are excellent. Others are not doing their job.
Some of our big city school systems spend the most per capita, and have some of the worst results.
Political correctness prohibits us from discussing why the schools of Washington, DC, Detroit, Gary, Indiana, Camden, New Jersey, etc. spend so much and get a failing grade in doing their job.
The increased spending must stop. Those urban schools will not get any better given their students' backgrounds.
Every comment here is correct. Our schools are failing due to unions, low standards, idiotic fad teaching methods, poorly-educated teachers, decreasing parental involvement and too much time spent on social indoctrination.
Not to mention that the lunches suck.
