Hmmm, I normally don't spit my drink unless I'm laughing or actually using my mouth to speak. Sorry you wasted your grape soda, maybe consider "spitting" at the other end of your mouth so it doesn't go to waste?

Doesn't the U.S. government sink a shitload of money into poor schools through the department of education? I know that the Newark schools are some of the worst in the country but at the same time get shit loads of Federal money for various things as well as donations from philanthropist groups.

In any case funding doesn't matter when it comes to how well schools do.

Of course Cherry Hill is one of the states many "moneyed" suburbs while Newark is a shit stain on humanity but it goes to show that funding doesn't have anything to do with school performance. Neither does class size. In has to do with parental involvement and environment. It could be certainly be argued that the state of Michigan is doing the smart thing of trying to clean up the environment first rather than sinking money into the black hole that is Detroit schools.

As much as I love teachers, academia, learning etc. this is just another attempt of the teachers union to grab more money and power. for the love of god don't think I'm against teachers unions or their existence

The truth about the American education system is that there isn't nearly enough parental involvement. If more parents here were involved in their students education our schools would shit all over European and Asian schools. But it's easy for people to complain about funding or take shots at teachers and their unions rather than say the harsh truth that Americans have to put in some fucking effort.

tl;dr Naggers need to take some responsibility.

People using the metric of $ spent per student is asinine. That's a meaningless metric. The only metric that counts in education is performance. Otherwise, the amount you're spending per student is irrelevant. It's just throwing good money after bad.

Like here in TX. There's a big media blitz from an advocacy group because the legislature is going to cut education spending. Their mantra is "Texas is already 44 out of 50 states in spending per student, and that's just wrong." My argument is "that's irrelevant." They don't even mention where Texas is nationally in academic performance. That's a more compelling argument.

Yes, I realize it's from the Heritage Foundation, but this is a well-researched and well-sourced background piece on the comparison between funding and performance, from the 1970s to ~2009. It's eye-opening. More money is not the answer.

Are you saying that paying the school administrators a higher wage somehow doesn't help the children?

That's a quite a stretch.
