Who says government education doesn't have enough money to teach.
"The research by Adam Schaeffer of the Cato Institutes Center for Education Freedom seemed shocking: The Los Angeles Unified School District spent $29,780 per student in fiscal year 2007-08. That’s way above the $10,000 as advertised by the school district, and as used in most studies.
The $29,780 per student figure means a class of 25 students would spend $744,500 a year."
What a rip off. If you ask what they spend, LAUSD will not tell the full truth.
"Basically, what Schaeffer found was that the LAUSD doesnt count capital spending, such as from local and state bond measures passed by voters. For example, $1.18 billion was spent in 2007-08 from Measure R, which 64 percent of voters passed in March 2004. And the district spent $668 million from state Proposition 55, also on the March 2004 ballot. According to Ballotopedia, it barely passed with 50.9 percent of the votes. Both were bonds."
This is why government has too much money. LAUSD has a 60% drop out rate, yet spends $30,000 per student per years--This is a disaster for the students and taxpayers.
