Public-School Excuse No. 1 – Give Us More Money
Suppose that a contractor was building a house for you, and for some strange reason he convinced you to build your house on a garbage dump. The house was supposed to cost $150,000, but the contractor is having problems. Every time he tries to lay his foundations, the foundations sink into the garbage-filled earth. So the contractor keeps trying new ways to reinforce the earth to hold the foundations. He tries steel rods. He uses a different concrete mixture. But everything he tries fails because the garbage dump won’t support any foundation he pours. Every time the contractor tries something new, the price of the house goes up. His experiments push the price to $350,000.
Of course you become disgusted and start to think that the problem may be a structural one that can’t be fixed—that you’ll never be able to sink a solid foundation on a garbage dump. The contractor, who doesn’t seem to have a waiting list of other customers, keeps saying that if you give him another $100,000, then another $100,000, he’s sure he can find a way to lay your foundation and build your house. But you’re bankrupt by now, so you have to walk away from the house.
The same scenario has been running for the past fifty years in our public schools. To cover their embarrassment at their constant failure to educate our kids, school authorities endlessly demand more tax dollars. They point to all the alleged deficiencies of our public schools. They claim that the schools are overcrowded and run-down, and that good teachers expect high salaries. They demand more tax dollars to modernize the schools, reduce class sizes, expand programs for struggling students, and always, increase teacher pay to recruit and retain better teachers.
The problem with public schools, however, is not lack of money. The real problem is that many of these schools are, in effect, an educational garbage dump. No matter how much money we pump into them, they will not improve because their foundations are rotten. They are a compulsory government monopoly—that is the rot under their foundations. Just as the state-controlled food system in the communist Soviet Union produced failure and famine, so our government-controlled public schools produce educational failure for our children. In both cases, that failure is built into the system because compulsory government control wipes out free choice and competition.
The problem with public schools is not lack of money but that government control guarantees mediocrity in our schools. We have falling SAT scores, high dropout rates, and depressing math and reading scores across all grades. As we saw in Chapter 1, the grim statistics are endless. Yet school authorities have the nerve to continually ask for more money.
Giving more money to public schools is usually a waste of time. Paul Craig Roberts describes a 1984 Kansas City public-school experiment that eloquently illustrates this point. Because of a desegregation lawsuit, Roberts writes,
“Kansas City spent $2 billion building the most expensive school system in the world. Beginning teacher salaries rose from a low of $17,000 to a high of $47,851. Fifteen new schools were constructed and 70 had additions or renovations. The luxurious facilities include a planetarium, a vivarium [a little zoo for frogs], greenhouses, a model United Nations wired for language translation, radio and television studios, movie editing and screening rooms, swimming pools, a zoo, a farm, a wild land area, a temperature-controlled art gallery, and 15 computers per classroom. Students can study Suzuki violin, animal science, and robotics. Language instruction spans French to Swahili.
Despite the extraordinary facilities and massive sums of money, student performance is so low that recently the state had to strip the Kansas City School District of its accreditation. The school district has fewer students and is less integrated than in 1984 when Judge Clark took control of the school district in order to achieve “mathematical racial balance.”
If more money meant better education, our public schools should have vastly improved over the last 75 years. Yet the reverse is true. In dollars adjusted for inflation, public schools spent about $876 per year for elementary and secondary school students in 1930, when student literacy rates were close to 90 percent.2 In 2003, as we noted earlier, public schools spent about $7500 per student, while literacy rates fell to the 50-70 percent level (see Chapter 1 statistics).
In the year 2000, the five states whose students got the highest SAT scores were North Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota. Yet, per-pupil spending in North Dakota ranked forty-first among the states, in Iowa twenty-fifth, Wisconsin tenth, Minnesota sixteenth, and South Dakota a lowly forty-eighth. In contrast, the District of Columbia had the fourth highest per-student spending of all the states but ranked almost at the bottom of the list (50th out of 50 states and the District of Columbia) in student achievement.3 Clearly, there is little correlation between money spent per student and student achievement.
Many studies have shown that most private Catholic schools do a better job educating children than public schools. A 1990 Rand Corporation study examined big-city high schools to find out how education for low-income minority children could be improved. The study compared thirteen New York City public, private, and Catholic high schools that had many minority students. In the Catholic schools, 75 to 90 percent of the students were black or hispanic. The study found that:
“The Catholic high schools graduated 95 percent of their students each year, while public schools graduated slightly more 50 percent of their senior class; Over 66 percent of the Catholic school graduates received the New York State Regents diploma to signify completion of an academically demanding college preparatory curriculum, while only about 5 percent of the public school students received this distinction; 85 percent of the Catholic high school students took the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), compared with just 33 percent of the public school students; The Catholic school students achieved an average combined SAT score of 803, while the public school students’ average combined SAT score was 642; and 60 percent of the Catholic school black students scored above the national average for black students on the SAT, and over 70 percent of public school black students scored below the same national average.4
Recent studies confirm many of the Rand report’s findings. A 1997 study by Derek Neal, then associate professor of economics at the University of Chicago, analyzed the effect of Catholic high-school education on high-school and college graduation rates. Neal found that when inner-city students transferred to Catholic schools, their probability of graduating from high school increased from 62 percent to at least 88 percent. He also found that hispanic and black Catholic-school students were more than twice as likely to graduate college than minorities students who attended public schools.
Also, Protestant-affiliated school students consistently show superior academic results compared to public schools. The National Center for Education Statistics (NAEP) administers the National Assessment of Educational Progress(NAEP) to test the knowledge and skills of the nation’s students in grades 4, 8, and 12.
The NAEP’s 2003 test results showed that students in the Protestant-affiliated schools (as well as Catholic-school students) consistently scored well above public-school students in math, reading, writing, history, and geography. At all three grade levels, a significantly higher percentage of Protestant and Catholic-affiliated school students scored at or above the Basic, Proficient, and Advanced levels compared to public schools. Protestant and Catholic-affiliated school students also consistently scored higher on both verbal and math SAT scores compares to public-school students. Similarly, as for Catholic-school students, hispanic and black students in Protestant-affiliated schools were more than twice as likely to graduate college than minorities students who attended public schools.
Yet, the average annual tuition costs for Catholic and Protestant-affiliated schools for the 2002-2003 school year were approximately $3500-$4000 per elementary-school pupil and $5500-$6000 per Secondary school pupil. The average public-school cost per pupil was approximately $7300. 5
These studies show that Catholic and Protestant-affiliated schools give a superior education to public schools, especially for inner-city minority students. They give a better education at half the cost for elementary-grade students and about 30 percent lower cost for secondary or high-school students. Something is clearly wrong with public schools if they do an inferior job educating children for almost twice the cost of religiously-affiliated schools. Obviously, more money does not mean better education.
When we compare the academic record of home-schooled vs. public-school students, the cost vs. achievement differences are even more startling. In 1998, the Home School Legal Defense Association commissioned Larry Rudner, statistician and measurement expert at the University of Maryland, to do a study on the academic achievement levels of home-schooled students. The study tested 20,000 home-schooled students on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). The study found that home-schooled students did extremely well on the test compared to public school students. Home-schooled kids scored in the 75th to 85th percentile range, compared with the 50th percentile national average for public-school students across the country.
The study found that in every subject and grade level of the ITBS battery of tests, home-schooled students scored significantly higher than public and private school students. On average, homeschool students in the first to fourth grades performed one grade level higher than comparable public and private school students. By the fifth grade, the gap began to widen, and by the eighth grade, the average home-schooled student performed four grade levels above the national average.
Home-schooling parents not only give their kids a superior education, but spend, on average, far less than even Catholic or Protestant-affiliated schools to achieve these superior results. For example, the basic Alpha-Phonics program (see Resources section), which can help teach a child to read through several grade levels, only costs about $30, and is an excellent, easy to use program. Even if we assumed that an average parent spent about $1500 a year on learn-to-read or learn-math books, computer learning software, and other learning materials, that is about one-quarter the average $7500-a-year that public schools spend per student, and half the cost of tuition at the average Catholic school. Clearly, once again, it is obvious that more money does not guarantee a better education.
Work From Home
Parents/Students —- Below are many websites that offer resources to find jobs or start a business that can earn you more income and let you work or study from home. I hope these resources help you find the extra income you need.
The extra income you earn from a part-time job, work-at-home job, or new business you start can be used to pay for your child’s private-school education with a brick-and-mortar, or low-cost, online K-12 private school. Please look over these resources and websites carefully to make sure the income earning opportunity is real and legitimate, and consider a small business you can start at home.
Having a home-based business not only can increase your weekly income, but lets you stay at home and homeschool your children, or supervise their studies with an online K-12 private school. Working from home means you don’t have to waste time commuting, you are your own boss, and your income potential is limited only by your energy, perservance, and imagination. Good luck to all parents and students in your endeavors.

Money Saving Tips
PARENTS — Are you disgusted with your child’s public school, and want to give your child a better education, but think you can’t afford a private school? I have many articles on the blog about low-cost education alternatives, such as online high schools, middle schools, and grade schools. The GOOD NEWS is that many of these quality, accredited online K-12 private schools can cost less than $1000 a year tuition!
See also my articles on how homeschooling can be a lot easier and less time-consuming than you thought, even if both parents work
In this section, I list many Money-Saving Tips resource websites. I hope these resources help you save a lot of money. The money you save could then help you pay the low-cost tuition for an online K-12 private school for your children. Your kids deserve a quality, rewarding, private-school education. I hope this section on Money Saving Tips helps you pay this tuition.
