Each child in our school system is pulling in about $4,750 in county, state and federal dollars.
With about 22 in the standard classroom that's $104,500 per classroom with the teacher getting about $35,000.
That other $69,500 is going somewhere but it sure ain't on their education.
Is that the total? It seems very low.

You are right! And it certainly isn't the teachers getting any perks! If the parents and teachers could deal directly with the school boards, the education $ would be spent properly. Like Duncan Hunter said about the Dept.of Education employees not showing up for work making no difference in what goes on in a classroom. Most school system administrations could be done away with, and most likely that is where the $69,500 you spoke of went!
Does the 35K include the cost to the school for health care benefits and retirement contributions?
