Here in California, my wife teaches 150 chemistry students each day with a class/lab budget of 2 cents per student per day... That's $300 a day, $1500 a week, $6,000 a month, $54,000 a year (9 month year)on lab and classes. Doesn't seem too horrible for 150 kids though I'll be the first to admit that I don't know beans about the costs of chemicals, tubes, burners, etc.

Sorry to hear that. Where is your school district spending its money? "As indicated in Figure K12-1, approximately $53.0 billion will be devoted to California's 983 school districts and 58 county offices of education, resulting in estimate total per-pupil expenditures from all sources of $9,072 in fiscal year 2003-2003 and 8,899 in fiscal year 2003-2004." Naturally, the amount that comes from the State General Fund is less than $8899. dof.ca.gov
