Indeed. George W. Bush was able to purchase very little achievement in return for the $15k per student he spent in Texas. Given the way in which Bush's concepts are so disconnected from reality, this is hardly surprising. Just look at the absence of benefit he has gained from spending $500 billion in Iraq. The fraudulent student testing conducted by the man who became Bush's Secretary of Education is well documented and reported in newspapers and "60 Minutes". A Cousin who taught in Houston, while Bush was Governor, and now teaches in Austin told me the private joke among the teachers was that they were educating the future employees of Burger King. Far too many of the student were from families like David Jones is from where little importance was attached to education. Students who want to learn need more funding than the State of California provides to achieve their goals, but it is unlikely that even ten time that amount of money could educate the children of a David Jones, unless they were removed from their family environment. Boarding school for students who are being raised in an anti-education family would be a radical solution, but experience shows it would probably work. .
