Does the government regulate the price of school books? or does the market set that price?
I assume tuition (at public schools) is as high as it is because it will bring the necessary revenue for that school to operate (although I'm sure it will operate very inneficiently). If government allocated more funds for education, then tuition could drop.
Do you have proof that kids are learning nothing of consequence about the world around them?
I've never heard before that the books in Iraq devoid of Saddam's name. Can you point me to a source on this?
