New York Spends Almost $20,000 Per Pupil But Has Unprepared grads — the scandal New York’s pols ignore

The New York Post reports on government run education in New York :
Per-student spending — just shy of $20,000 — was far and away the highest in the nation, and almost double the national average, according to the US Census Bureau.

But $13,600 of that went to support teacher and administrator salary and benefits — leaving not a lot for equity enhancement, or for anything else that might actually boost classroom performance.

Which is just the way the teachers unions want it — and, by extension, the way New York’s education establishment delivers it.
What a scam.
