text: We spend - what was it last time I checked? $12k? $16k per head?! - way too much per-head on government schools (aka "public school") already!
  I do NOT want to hear that education needs more money (in this case, to provide higher salaries to teachers). Don't care. Sure, I agree teachers need to be paid more. but NOT at my tax increase expense. They ALREADY get 12-16k per pupil. They need to figure out how to better use that money to pay teachers more. Even if it means cutting the NON-teaching fat out of the beast.
  Enuff of my money down the tubes. Get rid of all that consultancy, admin, execs. Pay teachers more with what's left.
