so therefore and hence why should we pay any more for it?
First we need the best education system in the country, THEN we’ll start paying for it in some way.
[/sarcasm]
We have great public schools. Big spending doesn’t mean better results.
Why don’t we cut the defense budget and expect to have the same quality, capability and sustainability?
Big spending may not guarantee better results, but it is certainly correlated with better results, at least for at the low levels we are talking about. Consider the results with $0 spending. Gets better as you spend more, right?
We do rank 12th in academic achievement as a state.
So here’s the state of things here in Colorado:
And here’s what you can do about it:

and perpetuates misinformation, stereotypes, and prejudice. Mississippi is 15th. Alabama is 25th. Other backwards southern states: Georgia is 6th. Arkansas is 10th. SC is 16th. The only southern state in the bottom ten (besides FL, which many southerners don’t claim as southern) is TN at 45th.
Good for Mississippi, we’ll tell our kids to put Ole Miss on their college list since they’re properly funding their education system. Doesn’t exactly give our state an excuse, though.
As far as this Colorado blog is concerned, we kicked your rebel asses at the Battle of Glorieta Pass and haven’t really paid much attention since then.
Between funding and performance, it makes more sense to focus on the items that do matter
… it borders on scary listening to those folks. Scary for the obvious lack of education, and scary because I think I hear banjos in the background….
One time I got gas and went inside to the bathroom; looking around and listening one could have thought they were reshooting “Deliverance” nearby. All these years later…
Is bubbahood a close correlation to dollars spent in public education? I honestly don’t know. But I have my suspicions.
Don’t they spend more per pupil than Colorado?
{sarcasm}
At least here when you can’t get a decent job you can go fishing.
