Why do states like Vermont, Mass., Conn., and NY who spend a lot on education have the best education programs and test scores and states with the least per spending like Texas, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama have the worst?
Why does Washington, DC, which spends $16,000 per student have the worst test scores?

I'll agree that wastefully spending money on education like in Chicago, DC or even in my homestate city, Milwaukee gets us no where but you still need a good amount of money to build something strong.
Just look at the states who did it right.
It's not the money. Look beyond that. Many private schools cost much less than $13,000-$16,000 per year per student, but get much better results. Think about why that is...

Not everyone can afford to go to a private school and they are often poorly ran in my opinion. I went to one and I have learned much more at my public University than at the private school my parents put me through much of my life.

Um... aren't you supposed to learn more in university than you learn in high school? That's kind of the point.

Interesting use of words. How is it a waste of money if it costs less and yields better results?
Notice how the little black line increased, right before the Great Depression?
That is not what caused the great depression.
There have been more than a few depressions during our history....the big difference in the great one was the "socialist in chief" who saw a great opportunity to not let a crisis go to waste.
All the others we relatively short lived because the leaders of the time let it run it's course.
I don't know if it is the sort of talk radio babble you're used to, but I may be able to find a video that fits the standard talk radio attention span.
What about the millionaire entertainers?
The first million dollar pitcher in baseball was Nolan Ryan....in 1980.
Now, a normal contract is tens of millions of dollars. How much more is that than the average Joe?
And movie stars.....20 million for one movie! What's the income disparity between Leonardo DeCaprio and a stag hand?
How much more does Michael Moore make than the camera guy?
Give it up lefties....it's a whole new ball game today.
Yes they do. But that doesn't mean inequality is desirable.
Nobody desires to be at the bottom....and most people have a desire to be on top.
Not a one of you lefties on here would turn down an opportunity to earn 700x their contemporaries. Not that you would hold that position for long, but you wouldn't turn it down out of principle.
And, not one of your leftie talk show hosts would pass up the opportunity to be as successful as Rush or Hannity.
Not one of your leftie talking heads on msnbc likes sucking Fox News exhaust...they would kill to have Fox's ratings.
Give it up already. The only reason that you lefties feel the way you do is because you're bottom feeders.
What an ignorant view of the working world you have. You think a factory owner doesn't do anything? Or has done nothing?
Heaven help this country, with attitudes like this.
That's why people who think this way need to be beaten back.....they are truly un-American.
I often wonder how they were raised and by whom.
