Low spending MS beats Blue State big spenders on public education – KXL

The numbers tell the tale.  Oregon and Washington rank as some of the best states in America to be a teacher and the worst if you’re a student.

Fat paychecks and pensions, bottom rank for reading and math.

Both states have doubled spending on schools in the last decade while test scores dropped.

You know who’s getting it right?

Mississippi.  I know, reputationally a backwards state and outspent by blue states like Oregon and Washington.

But in the last decade it has gone from the bottom of the American education pile to the top.

And the solution ain’t rocket science.

Students get tested in the third grade and if they’re not ready, they get held back.  Students get tutoring.

18-thousand bucks in Oregon per student per year for K-12.

19 in Washington.  Tuition for Ducks and Huskies costs far less.

But you have to understand how failure benefits teachers and democrats.

Failing teachers unions demand bigger paychecks.  Union dues fund political contributions, exclusively to Democrats.

And your kids pay the price.
