Lance, you cannot equate the $$$ spent on education with a good education. The City of Atlanta spends more per child than any other school system in GA yet continues to have the lowest scores, more dropouts, lowest grades, etc. Right now I believe they are spending around $10K a year per student. Take that exact same $10K and give it to a private school and see the difference in education. And incredibly, the teachers at that private school are making LESS money than the public school teachers so even giving teachers a higher salary won't make a difference, IMHO.
