Our School Systems Not Immune From Waste!

Our Texas Legislators are trying to get the costs of education in control.

Now Texas Pundits are proliferating the media with 1/2 truths telling the Mom's and Dad's that the Legislature is trying to short change our school children by taking teachers our of the classroom.

We should all be outraged if that were the whole issue. It is not! Today we find that there is nearly a 1 to 1 ratio of school administrators to teachers in Texas. How many administrators are necessary? In addition schools spend money without considering the cost/benefit ratio.

Some school districts understand the cost/benefit ratio and act accordingly. They are in the minority. Other districts might consider ways to cut costs without cutting classroom teachers.

We can cut school spending without taking effective programs from our children.

Application of a cost/benefit ration to every aspect of schooling our children should be our first priority.
