The little town won't cut their budget. We have a downturn now, and teachers are still getting their raises. The bottom line is that demand for education goes
up in economic downturns, so the political will to fund it is there.

Most problems in education are in urban cities where parental apathy is systemic. Dont be surprised to see huge classroom sizes in the the "inner" cities here in NJ.

I checked the numbers in njmonthly, and found little evidence that the "bad" schools had larger classes than the "good" ones.
The Abbott system ensures that these schools are well funded, so if they had large classes in those districts, it would not be because of lack of funds.
