<<Lowering class sizes and raising education spending per se just causes more inflation. >>

My district has gone nuts, spends $7,500+ per student. 11th highest tax rate in the nation on school funding. We have grade school teachers making $88k per year.

A friend's son is a junior in HS, math class is 18 students, a teacher and two assistants. 6 students per instructor. Math is basically teaching them how to use a calculator. Rote memory on pushing buttons, the think part is left out. My friend showed his son how to do square roots with a pencil and paper and was called in for being disruptive.
