Would you go to your boss and tell him that you are overpaid AND suck at your job all in the same breath?
the article says the u.s. Outspends a lot of other countries but it doesn't get into how they reach that breakdown. Are they lumping private schools in? It does say teachers are the biggest expense, but doesn't get into if the increase in salaries is reflective of cost of living, or if those numbers include higher staff to handle transportation, food etc. Costs per students in the us is going to be higher where kids have to be transported for hours on busses, which is different in countries that are basically the size Louisville.
