I’ve always been of the opinion that people need to do basic math when the teachers union cries poverty.
Average funding per pupil: $11,000. Kids in your kids class: 30. Funding per class: $330,000. ——————————————— Average Teacher Salary: $65,000. Teacher Benefits: $35,000. (Teacher subtotal) $100,000. ——————————————— Books ($1000/student): $30,000. Classroom/Building Maintenance: $70,000. (Classroom subtotal) $100,000. ———————————————- Total class spending $200,000. Unaccounted bereuacracy $130,000.
And let’s think about it, is it really costing $70,000 per classroom to build and maintain the schools?
