I would guess that there would be no difference because there will never be
enough funds for schools. schools spend it faster than they can print it.
This has always been an issue with me. Everyone cries that schools are
underfunded and what not but no one ever can come up with a number that would
fund them. Do they need $400 million more to be funded? If they get $400
million, will they need another $50 million the next year?
I am not against public schools, i am a product of them and think the best of
them. I think the school districts confuse what they would like with what they
need though. Until they figure that out I believe those paying the bills (the
taxpayers) will be skeptical to requests for more money.
