Power and Money on November 21th Discusses Teacher Pay
On November 21st, Lenore Hawkins joins Power and Money to discuss to discuss increasing teacher pay to improve education. Lenore’s perspective:
The problem with education isn’t as simple as training teachers more effectively or paying them more. We spent over $151,000 per student sending the graduating class of 2009 through public schools. That is nearly three times as much as we spent on the graduating class of 1970, adjusting for inflation. Despite that massive real spending increase, overall achievement has stagnated or declined, depending on the subject.
