Teacher Pay Reality

                       

Real dollars spent on education have more than doubled in the past forty years as teachers unions have gotten stronger. The bulk represent teacher salaries and pensions.

The number of teachers have increased by more than one third. Yet less than 40% of students who graduate are ready for college level. And, of course, do not measure up to international standards.

                       

A solution is possible, in the form of charter schools where union rules are somewhat relaxed and school vouchers, where funds are allocated to public education, set aside for parents to use for private school tuition.  (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
