There is no number large enough for education. If we gave them all of the money in the world…it would still not be enough for them. They will spend any and all money provided on “programs”. $23K per year/student? That is double what it costs to send you children to a private school…something has to give here.
Check out the video – John Stossel Stupid in America 5-6-12 on youtube. (about 39 minutes long) 5-6-12 is the air date. Its about the public educational system. There are a few other related videos by him also. My BP went up so be careful. P.S. In Rockford private schools average about $7K per student.
Yep, amazing. Better than 3X the cost in Rockford. Nuts.
$8.4 billion budget ÷ 355,000 students = $23,600 per student per year!!!!!!! And those billions dont even cover the pensions. But articale states–“District leaders estimate that the budget still falls $1.9 billion short of what it should take to fully fund education for Chicago’s 355,000 students.” —CRAZY!!!!
We’re is this money coming from
Taxpayers from other states, so who cares?
Except possibly the taxpayers in those other states…
