They were fine.
Since when is 40% funded fine? They were in critical status.
My local was once part of Central States but had the foresight to get out and go on their own. Like the Western Conference, they saw the benefit of diversifying out of just trucking and brought in other crafts.

Students must be excelling beyond belief currently vs back in 1950, we added all kinds of layers of administration.

I would say at least half the "administration " could take a hike. Education spending has gotten totally out of hand. If the money was really going to educate kids -fine- but it's not.

In my state, the administrator's are intertwined with the machine democrats that run everything. We spend huge amounts funding the blob, yet the kids cannot read.

Less than 50% of school kids in Mn. can read and do math at the level they are supposed to be doing at their age. Really sad. Yet we keep building new schools around here that look more like palaces than schools. Our middle school has a 30 foot high fancy entryway that makes it look like you are walking into Grand Centra Station. That is a LOT of waisted space to heat when its 20 below.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

So the teachers get raises to make the kids smarter. How’s that been working?

For many years now the status quo has been if you attend school a couple days a week you will automatically get passed on to the next grade. That has to stop and kids made to be responsible to get passing grades. I blame school boards and teachers for that mess they got themselves into. When was the last time you heard of any kid getting held back a grade because he flunked?

In America we say we can’t raise taxes on the elite wealthy billionaires because they won’t want to work anymore, but we scoff at giving raises to barely middle class teachers teaching 40 kids at once
I understand what you’re saying, but that’s actually a state and local issue. Not to mention when you raise the teacher salary you also raise the property tax of the people who live there.

Freakin property taxes man

Pay off a house and retire and still freakin payin. And it keeps rising. Doesn’t seem right
Yep, I’ve said it here before my house is currently very close to being paid off. And I realized I don’t really own anything. Except a piece of paper.

You would quickly realize that when they threw you out on your ass for not paying your property taxes for life.

In Mn. it is REALLY hard to lose your home for not paying your property taxes. You can let them slide for 7 years then when the heat gets turned on you only have to pay for the first year you fell behind. On top of that you only have to pay a small percentage of that years taxes. You can stretch the battle out for years -----and many skumbags do.
