And Yes, I cherry picked. I picked 2 high spending, low success rate cities and 2 low spending and high success cities to show lack of correlation. Feel free to look at the chart I linked to and see if you can find the relationship I've missed.You're cherry picking. Take a look at the best states.Mesa AZ $6855/pupil (2005 dollars)77.1% graduation rateMy question is why doesn't the State close the failing schools? Aren't they enabling this shit.
Schools fail because of lack of funding. Fund the schools if you want better education.
Detroit MI $19,529/pupil 24.9% graduation rate
Nashville TN $9,160/pupil 77% graduation rate
Indianapolis, IN $14,428/pupil 30.5% graduation rate.
Care to rethink that?
The state Iowa graduation rate is 88% and no ethnic group fell below 73%. The cost per student is $9,700
Texas graduated 86 percent of its students. It boasted the highest Latino and Black high school graduation rates, at 82 percent and 81 percent, respectively. The cost per student $8,700.
The state of Tennessee graduates 86% of their students. The cost per student is $8,100.
Education Spending Per Student by State

This report examines about 50 years of expenditure between the 40's and 1993. There is no student performance data presented for the period, only dropout rates in 1993 and statements concerning low SAT scores.A Michigan study shows that there is no correlation between either spending per pupil or teachers salary and quality of education
Thanks for letting us know you're nothing but another mindless partisan puke.
If you have any information on a Republican that has helped the middle class prosper, please post it.
You got the attention you wanted as a partisan douche, no need to belabor the point.
I'll make it easy. Can you name a Republican in the last 45 years that wrote or sponsored a bill that benefited the middle class and/or poor without giving a huge jump to the rich?
the civil rights bill was passed by republicans in spite of democrat fillibusters.
Must have been asleep during the 80's..
libs and dems pretend that the 80s never happened.
Well you claim you are part of the one percent and support the far left mantra that the rich should pay their fair share.
So when are you going to do your part and not take advantage of the tax loopholes? When are you going to give all your money to the poor and back up that which you support?
I have very little problem with the voucher system. If this gives students a better chance at success in life than I am all for it.
Why should they fund failed public schools when there is a viable alternative. Are you afraid the public schools couldn't compete, or are you afraid that the teachers' unions would be decimated and unable to contribute to Democrat candidates?

Typical liberal response, check the funding behind some of the most miserable school systems in the country, many are receiving more per student than some of the best in the country. Utah is a great example of getting better results with some of the lowest per student spending. Quality parents and teachers are more important than money.

Quality parents and teachers are important, but the highest cost per pupil have the most need for school infrastructure.
Force the vouchers to take ALL kids, even those that have a history of disrupting the classroom. If they can't make all the kids scholars as some of the idiots who could never teach want,. Then close the school. Anyone who blames only the schools and teachers is a total idiot who thinks that the kids just show up and yearn to learn. I wouldn't be a teacher down there(Louisiana or Alabama or Mississippi, etch) because they are so far behind the times its kinda sad. Send all the problem children to the voucher schools and by no means can they be expelled no matter what they do. Then let's see how it goes.
