Congratulations, you've ust opened multiple cans of worms with a single post! :w00t:
At the risk of combining two separate threads, I think that a big part of the problem with education these days is the cost of medical benefits for school employees. A large percentage of the cost of hiring a new teacher is covering the employee's medical plan. If health insurance (or another form of health care) costs were more reasonable, more of the money for schools could actually go to the schools and not to the insurance companies.

Why can't we all just get along
