1. The charge per student ($7 per pupil per year) for the use of CSCOPE seem excessive. Why? Who agreed to allow Texas school districts to pay these charges across the State and what mechanism is available to determine the exact extent to which the CSCOPE materials are a success or a failure?.
en hard to come by before. .....
... Overall, we are spending a lot more money per student in the US than in other countries and the overall performance of the schools across the country is not improving. I think those who are calling for the schools to be run like businesses are tuned into that problem. The solution, like just about everything else that the government controls, is to throw more money at it. That isn't working any better than the proposed gun controls are going to work to solve gun crimes.
Really you think $7 per student per year is too much to spend on ciruclum? Seriously I agree it Adds up when multiplied by thousands but do you really believe hat your children's educational material as are overpriced at $7 per head?
