Cut education spending - it won't hurt the kids!

There is no relationship between public school spending and quality of education. A new study shows just how incredibly wasteful public schools are. They Spend WHAT? The Real Cost of Public Schools

LAUSD actually spends $25,000 per student per year, though they claim it's only $10,000. Can anyone tell me with a straight face that they cannot provide an absolutely top-notch education with that amount of money, or even half of that? Median private school tuition in LA is $8300. Why pay 3 times more for a worse education?

Public schools are wasteful and expensive and ineffective because of the teacher's union and government bureaucracy. Why can't we introduce some competition into the system with school vouchers or tax credits, and let parents decide where the money should be spent?
