Read my posts above because the stuff in Michigan isn't about unions. It's about a governor trying to take the power to take over any city or school district that HE deems to be in a financial crisis and fire all of their elected officials and appoint his own manager to that city. Elected officials are NOT unionized.
As to China's education system, they have increased their funding of it by 1% every year since 1998. Education is only compulsory through age 15. It is 100% government run. They spend $2867 per student. Some students only go to agriculture school after age 15, where they learn Chinese, Mathematics and Morals. Students have to take an entrance exam to get into a college prep high school. Is that better? Really?
Our education spending in Michigan has not skyrocketed. It has gone down significantly over the past 3 years. It's been cut more than $2000 in some districts.
