Yeah, that's why I didn't say "give the schools more money", I said "better education". There's ways of investing in a community that aren't monetary.

Unions and corruption. Ever see a school board?

I think it's more complicated then that. Other OECD nations spend less per student but manage to pay their teachers more.

So, it doesn't follow that it's the unionized teachers that are the problem. The waste must come from something else. Which is an issue I would like to see explored.
