463: Why are public schools failing so miserably?

Broadcasting from the Royal Oak pub, the boys drink and review Crowhill’s homebrewed porter then discuss the failure of our government-run schools and the American education system.

Over the last 40 years we’ve had an increased role in education by both governments and unions, we’ve spent more and more on education, but results are worse and worse. Why?

Private schools that spend far less per student get better educational outcomes, and homeschoolers — who spend very little — frequently outperform private schools.

At the same time, we keep hearing that teachers aren’t being payed enough.

Okay, so where is all this money going? It’s going to administrators.

The boys review some statistics and discuss possible remedies.
