it's the way it's being spent.

You can't seriously argue that $8,000 to $10,000 a year we spend on education per child isn't enough.

School systems are WAY too top heavy. In some states the ratio of total school personal, including all the bureaucrats sitting on their asses is like 1:3 (paid personnel vs student)

Teachers are getting the green wiener also. Most are spending vast amounts of time doing paperwork dreamed up by some state or county bureaucrat to cover their asses.

Cut the paperwork, cut the oversight personnel, cut the crap, hire more teachers and pay better, education will vastly improve.
