Every child that becomes an educated tax-paying functioning member of society and not a prisoner housed at $35K a year offers a huge return on investment.
If, and only if the taxpayer's money accomplishes the result.

I agree with your goals, Lowell. Any decent person does. The debate is about methods. I don't see any evidence that money helps students. Do you?

That is why I'm in favor of radical change in schools -- regardless of whose ox is gored. Unions, corporate schooling, schools districts, anyone. We need to allow new methods to flourish. More money spent with the existing commisars of education isn't doing the trick for our children in HP.
