The US average is $12K. NYC schools cost well over $20K per student

You're not going to convince me that the results (by any measure you
want to use, besides "participation trophies") justify the costs.

Perhaps it is different in the USa - where the results DO appear to be
a bit poorer - but the teachers are paid less, etc etc etc.

Less?????

$100K salary isn't rare, absolute job security, and 100% retirement
after 30 years, isn't pocket change. There is _no_corelation between
teacher pay and student performance. Of course, administration costs
don't help anyone, except administrators.

DOH! (beat me to it!)
