American schools spend 20k-50k per student depending where you're at. Private schools cost from 5-15k per crumb cruncher. And way more for the super elite celebrity schools. It isn't a lack of funding, its corruption, cronyism, and graft. The money never makes it out of the school administration building. It doesn't go to maintain schools, teachers, or books. It's sucked up by a buddy "contractor" of some admin, city counselee, city Board of education, etc...who donates to the right reelection funds.
