Things that make you go... hmmmmmm..... The United States spends an average of $6,043 per primary school student. Only 3 countries spend as much on their students: Denmark, Switzerland and Austria. The United States spends an average of $7,764 per secondary school student. Only 2 countries spend as much money per child: Switzerland and Austria. The average primary teacher's salary starts at $25,707, the 5th highest starting salary in the world. After 15 years of experience, the average Primary teacher earns $34,705, still the 5th highest in the world. You would think that our children's skills might be proportional. Our 12th graders rank 14th in science, 17th in math. If our personal experience of the schools here in Broward County are any measure of the United States as a whole, our system of Education is abysmal. From the statistics above, it doesn't seem to be failing because we aren't throwing enough money at it! Posted by Michael at May 15, 2005 04:59 PM |
