The Primer...

What can I say about overwhelming statistics, but some shocked me:
  • 17% of public school students attend public "schools of choice" about 2% of public schools students attend charter schools, and 3% attend magnet schools
  • more than 60% of education spending, on average, goes toward instruction. About 8% goes toward administration
I am startled by the information in the Public Education Primer because it showed the raw facts about our American school system and it appears to be failing the children who deserve a chance.

I wish for a utopia of education where all are given a chance and told they are worth it
