As of 2012, the NYC school district spent $18,750 per student. In a class of 30 students, the total take is $562,500. What happens to all that money? It certainly isn’t producing much in the way of education, but the free baby-sitting and free food does come in handy.
I have an idea where the money ends up.
Recently my local news did a segment on some kind of consultant who was making the rounds of all the schools, to talk to teachers and find out what issues they had concerns with. He said the number one concern was EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION, followed by supplies.
It's all about the children, see. /s
