How about $230,000 per classroom of 23 students a year. What could a joint group of homeschoolers do with that?

Actually, in our town they spend 464,600 for every 23 students. God only knows what they spend it on, but it sure isn't teachers and supplies.

There was another story about how 2 of the school board members (an ostensibly unpaid position) have their wives working in the school administration office. That might have something to do with it, but my guess is that it's just wasted. The average teachers salary in our town (as of 1999) is $84,600 per year.
