THE GREAT AMERICAN TAXPAYER RIPOFF: K THRU 12 EDUCATION !

Since 1970 per pupil spending on public education has skyrocketed; while math, english and science skills remain unchanged.

This is a terrible trend, but unions and Democrats want to keep American children in a failed system.

Data suggest that our educational productivity has collapsed: the inflation-adjusted cost of sending a student all the way through the K-12 system has almost tripled while test scores near the end of high-school remain largely unchanged. Put another way, per-pupil spending and achievement are not obviously correlated.

But, now we have Common Core! [sarcasm alert]

As long as the libtards are controlling the education system the dumbing done of society will continue.

Like the libatards in Kansas who have cut funding, and watched test scores drop.

Missed the point, LittleEva, as usual. It's not about money.

Cato Institute. another unbiased, independent think tank from the Koch Brothers.

Odd, they use the word "ripoff" hundreds of times on their website. Can't seem to find it in this case.

That comes as a tremendous shock.
