Michael, in San Francisco we have broken windows, leaking roofs, horrible bathrooms with no stall doors, and teachers who buy several hundred dollars worth of art supplies, crayons, pencils, etc. for their classrooms every year. There is simply not enough money for the very basics which would send children the message that we value them and want them to be comfortable and teach them. You talk of free economies when it suits you, but offer no explanation of why anyone in an economy with full employment would deliberately go into teaching after finishing four or five years of college, when manual laborers and white collar workers make much more. In fact, I read an article this weekend where the U.S. government is going to import thousands of teachers from all over the world to fill the jobs that are not being taken in teaching by Americans.
