Since 1970, teachers unions have been demanding, and getting more and more money. This, they promised us, was "for the children."
As a result, total education spending has almost tripled, in constant dollars. But student performance has gone nowhere.
"In 1950, we spent (in 1989 dollars) $1,333 per student. In 1989 we spent $4931.
