This, by the way, in a school system where per pupil spending averages $ 13,000 annually, above the national average (and well above what any socialist or communist country has
ever spent per pupil on education.)
Yet it's hard to square these jeremiads with the simple fact that, after adjusting for inflation,
per -
pupil spending today is nearly three times what it was in 1960 - and that
spending jumps were higher in the 1990s than
ever before.
