So you're saying... if only we spent less money on schools, Camden would be booming?
If they spent the average / student and put the rest into a GET account for each student they could easily pay for every student who graduated to go to college as well as K-12, but instead they throw the money away and get nothing for it, they barely get literate high school graduates from it.
Yes, the point is that you said "there's a problem, and a particular approach didn't work!", which isn't really making a point.
The point is more government doesn't solve problems. More money rarely helps and frequently makes the problems worse. The failure of many school systems is not caused by a lack of money or a lack of regulation.

Very good narrative of our ill-conceived, unnecessary wars of choice.

The clerk at WalMart was a jerk to me, therefore corporations don't solve problems. Your move.
