<<But the hours and days of actual schooltime are where the system can get an easy fix. The Union is after infinite pay for zero work, like all of them, and has really reduced the time the teachers spend in class with the kids. >>

I just read an article in the paper about the school district I'm in. At the end of the '99 school year they had a surplus of $23 million. They now have 5% more students but 15% higher revenues. This school year they will end $5 million in the hole. They got a little ambitious in adding new programs like 1 teacher for every 5 students.

I think we are still talking past one another. Your answer here suggests you are thinking of public schools. My initial comment was about there flagship college campuses--Berkley, UCLA, etc. I then said I thought it might also cover k-12 but didn't know.
