The people taking apart education are the educators. The people paying the bill have nothing to do with the problems of the public schools. The logic on here is twisted beyond belief. You are actually blaming everyone else for the problem of public schools.
Under the current system, we could pay for class sizes and 5 students per teacher and pay teachers $300,000 a year and the results would be no better than they are now - dismal.
Heck, we could pay the current teachers 1 million dollars a year and the results would be the same. Teachers are not totally to blame here although; parents expecting the government to educate their kids properly, while they spend no time trying to educate them, also share the blame.
