Money, Class Size Not Cures for Lousy Skools

"If money were the answer (to a better education), Washington public schools would be the best in the nation, if not the world. Per student expenditures are $10,500 a year, second highest in the nation. With a student-teacher ration of 15.8, they have smaller-than-average class sizes. What is the result? In only one of the city's 19 high schools do as many as 50 percent of its students test as proficient in reading, and at no school are 50 percent of the students proficient in math."
