Re: Colbert rips bush at BIG dinner
People only vote democrat because they hear shiney happy ---- like "We're going to spend more on schools" hahaha Do you think we're getting what we pay for? Why would you put more money into it? (The biggest example of no choice government bullshit costing way more than what we're getting) Remember kids, rich people owe it to you.
National Spending Per Student Rises to $8,287
U.S. public school districts spent an average of $8,287 per student in 2004, up from the previous year’s total of $8,019. In all, public elementary and secondary education received $462.7 billion from federal, state and local sources in 2004, up 5.1 percent from 2003.
Findings from the 2004 Annual Survey of Local Government Finances – School Systems show that New Jersey spent $12,981 per student in 2004 -- the most among states and state equivalents -- the U.S. Census Bureau reported today. Utah, at $5,008, spent the least per student.
New York ($12,930) and the District of Columbia ($12,801) were second and third in spending per student. Vermont ($11,12 and Connecticut ($10,78 rounded out the top five. Along with Utah, Idaho ($6,02, Arizona ($6,036), Oklahoma ($6,176) and Mississippi ($6,237) comprised the lowest five in money spent per student.
The state governments contributed the greatest share of public elementary and secondary school funding at $218.1 billion. In 2004, state governments contributed 47.1 percent of school funding, down from 49.0 percent in 2003. Local sources contributed 43.9 percent at $203.3 billion. The federal government’s share, which came to $41.3 billion in 2004, rose from 8.4 to 8.9 percent.
Other findings:
* Public school systems spent $472.3 billion, up 4.1 percent from 2003. Spending on elementary-secondary instruction increased from $236.0 billion in 2003 to $245.2 billion in 2004. About $138.5 billion was spent on services that support elementary-secondary instruction, and $52.3 billion was spent on capital outlay.
* Instructional salaries totaled $170.6 billion in 2004, up 2.2 percent from 2003.
The tabulations contain data on revenues, expenditures, debt and assets for all individual public elementary and secondary school systems.

Re: Colbert rips bush at BIG dinner
My school wasted so much money, they just spent 9 million dollars on a new gym. So now they have two, and the old one is still shitty. There was absolutely no point to it. Meanwhile, they need new textbooks in most of the classrooms, the lockers are falling apart... and get this. When they built the computers, they put 80 gigabyte hard drives in each of them just because they could. You can't save anything to the computer itself; all your stuff is saved on the network hard drives. and with all of the programs maybe 6 gigabytes is taken up on the hard drive. And they got flat screen monitors and laser mice and etc. They spend so much money on stupid ----

Re: Colbert rips bush at BIG dinner
Thats what happens when you have $10,000 for each student and it costs nowhere near that for what they're getting.
The school voucher system would have been so screwed up. Could you imagine what would happen to the teachers union if there were private schools competing with better education at a lower cost to the government?
Trim the fat, bitches.

At least this one didn't leave a dead girl at the bottom of the river like his dad. Either way, he'll walk. His dad did after killing a girl he was partying with while he was married. http://liberalscum.com/tedkilledme.html

I do not think that school spending is a bad thing what so ever. Public education is a great thing, and cutting that off would set this country back 200 years.
Also, when schools get money they dont get to pick and choose on what they get to spend it on. Its always alloted to them with a very specific use and they have to use the money on that. Be it technology, computers, classroom supplys, athletics departments or building mainteince.

Gay marriage doesn't affend the church as much as it offends my tradition.
Schools waste more money than they actually use.
Ted Kennedy killed a girl, lied and got away with it, and is a member of your congress today.
