Today's thought:
I've been hearing for a very long time that the test scores for public school children are flat. They're just not getting better despite how much taxpayers spend.
Yesterday on my ride home from work I heard on the Michael Medved show some statistics that I hadn't heard before. Here goes:
Since 1970 test scores have been flat - no improvement.
Since 1970 public school enrollment has gone up 8 percent.
Since 1970 public school employment (teachers, administrators, staff) has gone up 11 fold.
Let's just mull that over for a while.
