despite the fact that it's more than doubled (in inflation adjusted dollars) over the last 35 years.
In fact public school funding goes up pretty much every year because people keep voting for it to. For some inexplicable reason voters keep forgetting that 5 minutes after it happens.

That's funny... my dad works in the public school system and not only did he not get the tiny annual raise this year, but he got a 3% pay cut and now pays an increased portion of his insurance premium. I wonder where all that $$ is?

Could have something to do with the fact that 1977 was the year with the lowest enrollment in the past 75 years in public schools and the fact that there are more than 10 million more students in those schools now than there were then.
Just maybe.  |

In state universities, colleges as well as public k-12 schools, the amount of funding continues to go up, but administrators continually give themselves raises and hire more administrators rather than the hiring more teachers or funding educational expenses.

Its all the "propaganda" about public school teachers getting paid less than wallmart greeters, school books being from 70s and sending your kid to public school without kevlar vest is surest way of getting your kid killed.

The lies run deep when it comes to the school system. For that matter all government funed programs tend to have a lot of lies about their funding. When performance can be measured there excuse for failure is always, "we need more money."

Our education is a disgrace. Our teachers come from the lower third of their classes.

Nah, it's more than doubled per pupil in inflation adjusted dollars. If enrollment is up then it should have lowered the cost per pupil due to economies of scale.
