Ok now lets see what private schools are paid per student and compare outcomes.

  Hmm... interesting, it appears that average private school tuition is over $3000 less than the average public school expenditure per pupil and there are better student teacher ratios. Wonder why he's not asking to be turned into a private school? Also it appears that public school spending has only gone up over the long term. How about a "thank you for the most funding in 100 years" letter from this administrator? Or perhaps a "I'm sorry we continue to fail at educating despite record funding levels" letter. No? Oh well I guess he decided to go with "We babysit for 7 hours a day and get three months off, but we should be funded the same as institutions that provide 24x7x365 care of violent adults." edit: As some of the article commenters have pointed out: 40,000/365/24 = $4.57 per hour 7,000/180/7 = $5.55 per hour Schools already get paid more per person/hour even using his own numbers. http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d09/tables/dt09_182.asp http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d09/tables/dt09_182.asp http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d09/tables/dt09_059.asp http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d09/tables/dt09_059.asp
