MCCLINTOCK ANALYSIS OF EDUCATION SPENDING

I'm impressed by your dedication. I think we've all known this for 25 years at least. What can we do?

If people read what McClintock wrote with an open mind, they can't help but see that what schools need is not more money, but better cost effectiveness. And the way to get that is competition. Open educational competition will lead to a better product as well as better compensation for those producing the product who do it well.

When I worked in a public district in Sacramento, I was appalled when I found out they had 7 Superindendents, each making over 120,000 a year, all with a staff of at least 3 and with a bureocratic finger into the pie, making it more of a pain to actually teach the kids. The more supervisors, the more nitpicking at the actual teaching of kids.

In addition, I don't know how building and maintenance contracts are parcelled out, but McClintock is right, that is another huge waste of money. I think the answer is for parents and quality teachers (in defiance of their intimidating unions) to demand competition

If we ever have choice in education, it will be a great thing for the country!

Isn't it amazing that everything gvt does usually costs more and produces less?

Today on Larry Elder he had teachers and students calling in with stories of leftist propaganda, Bush bashing,(now McCain bashing) by teachers in gvt schools...it was pathetic.
