Great moments in public education ("Just graditated" etc), spending + admin numbers are way up but results are way down, 4k employees making $100k+ a year and more Department of Education memes!
As an Eastern European who went to college in the US, back in the 90s, I remember studying for GRE and thinking to myself, "we did this kind of math problems in the 7th grade." Having prepped for the big exam over one weekend (whereas local kids would have spent at least a year in Kaplan courses, dry-running and taking and re-taking the tests), my scores turned out to be in the 90+ percentile (760/800 points for the quant section).
US college = roughly the equivalent of European high school. And this was 30 years ago.
European here too, not surprised. I got a friend who taught latin in the US but did not know latin. Obviously that is possible if you teach at a medical school. Which made me ponder what else is going on in medical schools, and in all schools.
Food in prison seems to be better than in schools. No surprise there.
Thomas Massie hits the nail again.
If one parent stays home and homeschools, this would save quite a bit of money. Free babysitting, mom or dad could make a healthy meal cheaper than anything you can buy, no second car needed, no fancy clothes or tons of make-up to wear to work, enjoy time with your children, teach them thing necessary for life (like how to mend clothes, put a button on etc.), just so much to do!
