Why does it take millions of $$$ to build schools to educate children? Communities are building these multi-million dollar "Cathedrals" posing as places of education and we the tax payers are getting bad results. We should expect a high level of output considering the amount of $$$ being ALREADY pumped into education.

I send my two kids to a private instituion. I pay about $6,000 less than the average State educated student cost. Why is that?

It sounds like your situation is different from my state. You say you are spending $6,000 less than the state schools. We are lucky to get $6K period. Since it gets cold in the Winter, they need buildings to meet in.

I have taught at a private school too. The public school I teach at (Mayberry RFD type small town) does a better job of educating.
