In the last forty years, the number
of public school employees has doubled. Of this number, about
two-thirds are teachers and teachers’ aides.
Yet, the student population has increased about 9%.
Still, free-spending politicians, beholden to teachers’ unions, keep preaching and pleading for more teachers. Our budget deficits are an indication of what has resulted.
The truth is, all this added educational expense has produced negative results in our educational system. Kids are not smarter and are lagging the rest of the world in achievement. Especially when private schools turn out a better product with less financial outlay.
Perhaps the unthinkable makes more sense. We would do better with less teachers and better school management. See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
