>NYC spends about $40,000/student >So, how much more money should we pour into DOEs to achieve better results?

How much of that money is going to teacher salaries, and how much to administrator salaries? I'm hearing crazy stories these days about American schools, that there's more administrators than teachers now.

Pouring more money into schools doesn't help if it just goes to a bunch of overpaid administrators who do nothing, and nothing goes to the actual teachers.




well, the ratio of admin to teacher has nothing to do with the $$$/seat.

Moreover, giving more money does not prevent admin bloat.
