. >> you were lucky enough to attend cranbrook in suburban detroit. as of this year the cost of a full year's tuition is $38,900. do you think we owe as a nation every pupil in america the equivalent of a $38,900 education every year? >> well, i don't know that -- a dollar number always equates to how effective the teacher is. i was delighted to have a terrific education at a private institution, that's not going to be available for the entire nation, but i know there are teachers in the public system that are every bit as good as those that are in the private system. i don't know that i place a dollar figure upon it, and as i look at my own experience in my state of massachusetts, dollar spending per pupil wasn't a very good determining factor of how well the student would do. at one point i looked at all the school districts in massachusetts, we have 351 cities and towns. i plotted spending per student against the achievement of the average student in each district. and there was no relationship at all, interestingly. as a matter of fact, the distri

seven counselors you go to cranbrook for a few weeks and their rights and these are basically subsidies to people who are wealthy enough to put their kids in private schools which leaves the people who are not wealthy enough with their kids in the public schools which is basically creating a system that produces a ghetto ization of our schools. it's all about privatisation the teachers in chicago it's very important understand have accepted the wage the meagre wage offer of a couple percent raise a year doesn't even keep up with inflation but they are told that they're supposed to lose their pay for experience so we were we actually want an experienced teachers and they're told that they would lose their extra pay for advanced degrees in advanced training and the words we want inexperienced uncredentialed teachers that's what they want and why so you just got back to news corp it's all about privatizing computerizing and robot ties in the schools because universal education no one wants to support it anymore neither party is going to support it anymore and it and the republicans are rea

districts all around chicago average around twenty four thousand dollars per student per year the cranbrook the school the romney went to thirty eight thousand dollars for year my recollection might be thirty four and that's without the polo pony you got to pay extra for that so i mean don't they don't the teachers have a legitimate i mean a third of their schools don't even have libraries and the teachers absolutely have a legitimate point to make one of the other issues that's not been discussed as much as in the fact that kindergarten teachers have over tuesday they have about i think it's a five point five hour day and they agreed to extend the day but under the under the belief that the city of chicago is going to supply additional teachers to help ease the burden of the workload i think what we're going to continue to have is these kind of flashpoints because we have severely under invested in our education system and we use education rely on schools to not only take care of kids because most parents have to work to feed children because we have a terrible poverty problem in this coun

>> i wonder how many vouchers it would take to get a kid into cranbrook. >> it helps if your father isr and psident of american tors i doesn't matter what the your grades are. at the end of the day it's very easy to say it doesn't matter the class size, it's all about the teacher. there was a time when tv the conservave position that parents had a responsibility to make sure that their kids were up for school on time, that 'dkfhere reto learn. i have heard horror stories coming out of miami of kids who can't stay awake because they haven't had breakfast, they went to bed at 11:00 or 12:00, they have no compur, no way to complete their homework. there was a time when conservatives belved paalpoil o helping parents to get their kids ready for school. now it's all the teacher's fault. >> can i add to that? i group up in a republican area of johnson county, kansas -- >> stop showing off. >> what distinguishedhis place is it was deeply doted t education, deeply devoted to education, but i want to suggest there's a different strategy to what mitt romney is saying that has absolutely nothing

the kids, if they have a way to get to cranbrook, who is going to worry about dey, who will support that high school, say nothg ofhe psilnt sny our schools are crumbling. what's your solution for denby after the kids leave for better options? >> well, i don't know denby terribly well, but i was in philadelphia and i saw a school in the inncity of dee b ithe last five like it or ten years. i think it was k through eighth grade. and i understand that the school was closed down, that 90% of the kids were not reading at grade level. geden gamble, as unccesul african-american, songwriter, got -- took the school over. put this place a charter school. and i went and toured the schl with him. saw the sdents there. i went to a classroom where they re learn to go useomrs ec cteliterate. i went to a room where they were singing and they were in a glee qulu club. he said all the kids mart pay the in glee club. i said how do you afford music teachers, art teachers, computer class. business. run thiik this isn't impossible. s as i recall, almost 90% of the students there now are reading at grade level
