Where does all the “other” money go? I read somewhere that 80 cents of every dollar spent on education funded special ed programs and facilities (and, no doubt, all the pseudo-administrative chair-moistener positions commensurate to that area). So unless we can shake off the Brobdingnagian burden of special ed funding, the modern one-room school cannot but succumb to the same bureaucratic dead weight.
Oh, and for what it’s worth, it’s Salina, KS. Not Salinas. The town is still there. Might be fun to compare modern student scores in Salina to those from the 19th century.
