The Real Cost of Public Schools

This article is from 2008, but I just read it and I'm sure the figures are worse than presented in this article. But the article illustrates how much is spent on each child in public schools versus private. Most people think that more money equals better results, this isn't true with government. More money usually means bigger and stronger bureaucracies which means more inefficiency and waste. Children deserve better, and parents deserve options.

  1. To offer that would go against Barack Obama's number one principle: SPEND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. Since offering more private schools would be cheaper and more effective, not to mention lessening the role of government and giving more to the people, such an idea flies in the face of all principles of Barack Obama and the Socialist...oops, I meant Democratic, Party.
