What is the loyal price of open education? According to the brand new investigate by the Cato Institute, the little of the nation’s largest open propagandize districts have been underreporting the loyal price of government-run preparation programs. www.cato.org Cato Education Analyst Adam B. Schaeffer explains which the nations 5 largest metro areas as well as the District of Columbia have been blurring the numbers upon preparation costs. On average, per-pupil spending in these areas is 44 percent aloft than strictly reported. Districts upon normal outlayed scarcely 000 per tyro as well as nonetheless claimed to outlay only 500 final year. It is unfit to have the open discuss about preparation process if open schools can’t be true brazen about their spending.

@MojoJuana Infrastructure and hardware are paltry costs compared to labor. Labor is the number one cost in both the private and public secttors. Labor is THE cost.

@tkwelge
burp!
whatever…
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
@MojoJuana It’s probably going to be more than that, as per year education spending combining federal, state, and local dollars will amount a treillion and a half a year by 2015. At that rate, we’ll spend untold trillions of dolloars on eduationn over the same period we will spend 3 trillion on the legacy costs of the military over that time. You think cutting off the dragons tail will sleight the dragon, but I’m actually working on chopping off it’s head. That’s the difference between us.

@tkwelge
wow, and your $40 trillion is not an exaggerated number?
harlie har har har!
well, at least we both agree that our government needs fixing badly.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
@MojoJuana I’ve already heard the claims, and yes I agree that the iraq war will ost us about 3 trillion dollars…. over the long term. That is a largely exaggerated number, however, as many of the costs included are costs that wouldc have to have been borne even in the absence of the war. During that same period we will spend 40 trillion on education. I agree that the military can be a bad thing, but you are distracted from the real problem that is government itself.

@tkwelge
you prefer to read books with data? here, read this and leave me the fuck alone!
The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict (Hardcover)

okay? i’ll let this book do the all the talking.
i’m out!
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
@MojoJuana You have yet to point to any aggredgate data or statistics whatsoever. still waiting……
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
@tkwelge
so, how’d ya like that sandpaper rubbing up against your dumbass?
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
@MojoJuana No, but they should have to pay for those things based on what the consumer is willing to pay for the education of their children. It’s not just about saving money, but doing more with less money.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
@NHTPC Oh, sorry. I actually want to see the numbers on private schools, too. It would be nice just for clarity. Sorry for the mistunderstanding on my part.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
@MojoJuana Am I the only one who realizes that this guy has no numbers or argument? You have yet to make ANY points outside of your own “common sense” I just want to make sure that I’m not alone in hthinking that you are an ass hat.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
@MojoJuana I agree that those missing limbs and lifetime care are really fucking expensive, but the data does not show that as being the number one expense. The number one most costly part of the military is the fact that it is one giant jobs program these days.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
Mojo misses the point…….it’s not so much the mind-boggling cost, but rather that they hide it.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
@mattsocr2 There’s lots of woods in Afghanistan. Just as not all America looks like the Rockies and Monument Valley.

March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
Well-done video. Short and to the point, easy to understand. (Visual representation of the numbers is easier to digest than those in the paper.)

uno: i never did say buildings don’t require maintenance after they get built, but unlike a decked out hi tech fighter jet which costs upward of hundreds of million each, they don’t crash or get shotdown or have to get replaced wholly…or require the same level of maintenance.
duece: wow, i see your problem. ya can’t tell if someone is speaking figuratively or literally. ya would need imagination for that.
trey: yes, those things cost money, but worth it, unlike our 2 retarded wars!!!
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
First, you would be suggesting that, since you do not think a building requires any cost beyond the initial construction cost. Second, I doubt there are any woods in Afghanistan, it is covered by deserts, mountains and located in the driest part of the world.
Third, yes, health insurance, utility bills, and money spent on building upkeep require a lot of money.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
now, would you suggest we have schools that are run like plantations? no health benefits for teachers, no plumbing or electricity…just cardboard shacks where the kids sit on floors and write with tree sticks in the dirt like in the backwoods of afghanistan?
we can sure save a shitload of money there, right, genius?
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
@MojoJuana
Health insurance would be for the teachers and other workers at the school. Building costs would include anything from maintenance, landscaping or utility bills. After a school is built it just doesn’t magically last for 50 years, have you ever seen an abandoned house that had zero upkeep. I doubt it looks as good as your supposedly 70 year old school.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
“get it thru your numbskull of a head…we don’t spend anything near $1 trillion on education a year!!!”
I agree. It’s likely a lot more.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
harlie har har, well, i am an engineer!
well, you prefer to read books, eh? nothing wrong with that…gotta to read the right books though. i have an idea! after where you do most of your reading, why don’t you wipe your dumbass with sand paper and see what happens if ya need some hard cold facts?
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
Har har har har, and i suppose you are an expert? If by pull a few numbers out of my ass you mean quoting the very numbers the US govt admits to, then yeah, I suppose I pulled numbers out of my ass. Common sense isn’t a replacement for facts. I don’t need to see somebody’s lameass documentary to know that wars are a waste, and I prefer to read books.
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
yes, it’s obvious you’re no expert!
if someone pull a few numbers outta some ass, well, believe what you will. use some common sense is all i ask.
go watch that film “iraq for sale”.
whatever, that’s it! go in peace
March 20th, 2010 at 10:02 am
That’s just for starters.
