A Harvard study found NO RELEVANT CORRELATION BETWEEN INCREASING PER-PUPIL SPENDING AND GAINS IN TEST SCORES. This is why of the 1.66 million high school students in the class of 2013 who took the SAT, only 43 percent were academically prepared for college-level work, according to this year’s SAT Report on College & Career Readiness. For the fifth year in a row, fewer than half of SAT-participants received scores that qualified them as “college-ready.”

In 2009, the U.S. spent more than $10,000 per student, ranging from $6,356 in Utah to $18,126 in New York. Utah graduates a higher percentage of its students than does New York.

Yet, school funding is the number one reason given by government officials and U.S. Education Dept advocates to support the need to impose a property tax on American citizens. I am not against spending more money on education, I’m just against spending any more money for a failed system of education that will never work! Vote NO and actually help our kids by channeling them into a new and different free-agency (for teachers) system that will teach our kids valuable global job and scientific skills.
