[quote=Anonymous]There are reports today that the DC school system spends about $18,500 per stundent in direct costs. A report last year estimated that the total cost (including capital outlays) was over $30K. Thus, the direct cost to DC ($18,500) is about the same as tuition at Gonzaga and the total cost is approaching that of STA and Sidwell. Does any think that the DC public schools provide that same value as private schools? The difference I believe is that the purpose of private schools remains providing the best education possible. The purpose of the public schools, on the other hand, has become to provide profitable employment and extraordinary benefits for the unionized public school teachers. The retirement and other benefits of private school teachers doesn't come close to matching the public schools. Let's pray that charter schools can help those poor kids trapped in the DCPS.[/quote]
