MAY 21, 2019 — The amount spent per pupil for public elementary and secondary education (prekindergarten through 12th grade) for all 50 states and the District of Columbia increased $12,201 per pupil during the 2017 fiscal year.
The government allocated over $360,000 for every classroom with 30 students and the average salary of the teachers was $80,000. Where did the remaining $280,000 go?
If parents were given $12,000 vouchers the parents could send their children to the school of their choice or could educate their children at home and keep the money for themselves.
