[quote=Anonymous]It's because Fairfax doesn't spend enough money on its public schools. The information is easily available. Spending per pupil in states with the best schools, like NY, is typically in the low 20K's to the high 30K's. In fact, MOST districts, good or bad, spend more than FCPS per pupil. FCPS is a poor, underfunded school district in a wealthy county. Jeff McKay and the other democrats tried hard to change that by passing a restaurant tax. For a few pennies per meal (literally) you could have had fewer kids per class. But no, massive public campaigns opposed it so it didn't pass, so now we are stuck with an underfunded school district. Unless, of course, you can afford to send your kids to private.[/quote]
