Where are my property tax dollars going?
I think that spending per student is a more relevant discussion that the size of a country. And on that front, the US actually spends a high amount per student compared with the OECD average. So the question is why aren't we getting better results? I think that's where you have to examine the differences between education successes and troubles. Private schools here with good results typically have children from families that emphasize the importance of education. So I don't think it's an equitable comparison. I cited poverty, you cited single parent families - the common link is that if you are dealing with disadvantaged kids you are already in the hole from the standpoint of education. Maybe we could look at things that have worked in other countries, like more recess or later start times for teenagers.
In any case, I wish the JetBlue pilots luck. You've been undercompensated for way too long. It's too bad that the NLRB seems to be complicit with airline management, never releasing anybody.
