Let's see ---- ($13,000 per child) x (23 children per classroom) = $299,000 per class. If the teacher is paid $70,000/yr, that leaves $229,000 to be spent for administration, books, utilities, janitorial. Where does the rest of that money go????
In the middle and high schools in our our local public school districts there are more teachers not in the classroom during the day than there are teachers in class. Teachers average 3 class periods per day, and yet they still clamor for more teachers and the teachers whine about being overworked and underpaid.
In our school district they announced with glee that two principals were promoted to administrative positions under the superintendent- which brings the total to three men who’s job it is to coordinate with the other district principals (nearly 30). So, it takes the Superintendent, 3 administrative positions, an Asst. Superintendent to manage 30 advanced degreed and highly paid professionals? This would kill any real business. With glee they also didn’t put the new cost to the taxpayers.
It is getting pathetic how they just layer it on with no thought as to how hard one has to work to pay for this. It’s all about job creation for the unionized mentality.
