The money earned by athletes and entertainers is not among those reasons.

Nope, but it certainly is an easy thing to blame for a complex social phenomenon.

I'd vote for spreading the cost among the taxpayers, but that's just me.

I find 20 kids quite manageable- although I find 30 difficult. In our district we go up to 30 kids in 4th and 5th. It is too hard to individualize attention for that many kids so I won't teach 4th or 5th I've decided. But with creativity and flexible work groups 20 should be quite manageable for someone with training.

I understand the economics. You should really address your response to St. Bill, since he is the one who was mostly raising this issue.

But I do think society's priorities are screwed up.

On the radio as I was driving in they were interviewing school children who cut school yesterday to watch the first game of the playoffs. Obviously their parents think baseball is more important than school. Fun beats out learning.
