Public Schools and Failure

From The Price of Liberty we get the following: Decline of public schools speeds up

State-run schools are failing students, and people are beginning to see that. But some things never change.

Just two things have NOT declined: the major one is funding. Even as student numbers drop, the funding of so-called public schools in this nation continues to be funded at ever-higher levels by the politicians – and the people the politicians control. More and more money is shoveled into the furnace to be consumed, along with the students.

The second thing that has not declined? School employment and the power of these people who are more and more just parasites on the body politic. Even though there are fewer and fewer students, the staff numbers seem to creep (or even gallop) steadily up. (And incidentally, bucking an otherwise national trend, union membership goes up for the “education professions.”)
