Here is the chart currently on the home page of the Dept. of Ed. web site:
Could there be a better argument for immediate abolition of the Dept. of Education? Can you believe this is where it is at?

If the numbers on this chart are valid, then it is pretty damning. The weasals who work in our Government would not want people to consider this sort of data at length. The teachers unions and their vile representatives will likely go far out of their way to dispute the reality.
It was Hitler who once boasted in his famous book that it was through public education that he would conquer societies. Stalin made similar comments. Public education in our Society is a disaster, and it is getting worse. The teachers unions are comprised of nothing less than Social Marxists who do not have the best interests of posterity in mind. They are generally speaking short sighted people with a very selfish agenda.

And keep in mind that the Fed only accounts for about 6% of education funding. It would be nice to see a state by state comparison chart, but just by doing the arithmatic the number is staggering.

Do you have the URL for the page that uses that graph?

I could almost laugh. Almost.

Note the reading scores are not posted post 1999. I would assume we will either have an improvement in reading scores OR some educators will be looking for funding somewhere else. Accountability is part of the bill that was passed, along with increases in funding.
The reason you know the accountability is starting to kick in is because the NEA is howling that this isn't fair, local schools don't have enough money, etc. etc.

What did you expect? Our teachers themselves can't read effectively, alot of them end sentences in double negatives! Our children are being taught Ebonics instead of English, wakeup folks!

I'm not defending the Deptartment of Education, but a couple points:
The student performance is going down. That's bad, period.
The graph is a bit misleading because it doesn't acount for:
- The number of students (i.e. dollars per student is a better measurement than dollars)
- Inflation
It's possible that the dollars per student, in some "constant" dollar, hasn't gone up as dramatically as the graph indicates, and it is also possible that the increase in dollars per student is even -MORE- dramatic.

Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. The URL for the Dept of Ed's main page is
http://www.ed.gov/ and I'm looking for the particular page of that website that used the graph. I wanted to see the entire page, not just the graph itself.
To: Cboldt
No arguments, but I didn't produce the graph, a government employee did. It's still pretty damning.
