Florida Assignment Of Rights Form Sales Tax: Fill & Download for Free

Based on what I’ve heard and read as a lifelong inhabitant of the Northeast and Midwest, where people move to Florida from so they can stop complaining about cold weather and high taxes and start complaining about all the bugs and humidity that they then go back north to escape in the summertime, managing to unite year-round Floridians and year-round Northerners in loathing for their company:Property taxes in Florida are actually higher. A lot of the people who move to Florida brag about how much lower their taxes are there … which makes more sense when you realize they’re usually retiring and thus moving to smaller houses. As this analysis shows, when you really look at it that’s where the property-tax savings comes from, since most municipalities in Florida tax at high rates to make up for less state aid due to the lack of money from an income tax as well as the homestead exemption given to long-term retired residents, and if you wanted to just save on property taxes when you retire, moving to a smaller house in a lower-tax jurisdiction in your own state might save you more (or if you absolutely can’t deal with winter anymore, Arizona, as long as you don’t mind sharing the senior center with nut jobs so far right they make the ones in Florida look like Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez by comparison).The state more than makes up for not having an income tax. Florida’s sales taxes start at 6%; with what cities and counties are allowed to add depending on the law and the year they can get you for up to 2.5% more, and on some things that other states don’t tax (Oh yeah … when you move to Florida the state gets a one-time fee of $225 for every vehicle you want to retitle and reregister on top of your annual registration fee.) Then the local county/city/school district/whatever gets to charge an “impact fee” if you build new or expand. Cha-ching!And then wait till you have to insure your house, especially if it’s on the beach. First, a lot of Florida developers are not exactly honest … Hurricane Andrew exposed a lot of really crappy construction, and the market has given developers no reason to stop cutting corners when people still flock down to Florida to retire. But property values stay up, and to solve the problem of how to insure seaside retirement homes that are ever more vulnerable to hurricanes, the state has to assign insurers to do it, so you can’t really shop around. And—a lot of retirees have learned this the hard way—your insurance deductible is not a fixed amount as it is in some place where the Indians knew was a safe place to build, but a percentage of the total value of the coverage … which can run into the high four digits or even five depending. Good thing you weren’t paying all that money in taxes … in fact, you may even need to borrow from the kids to cover the deductible.There’s also this thing called “pest control” that everyone pretty much has to have. An option up north … and not cheap, either. Good thing you’re not paying a lot in taxes (or at least you think you’re not) so you can pay the pest-control guy his subscription fee or whatever. And you will have plenty of opportunities.And then there’s the climate. As alluded to in other posts. This is the one genuine advantage Florida has over all those places snowbirds come from … but it’s a classic example of Gone Horribly Right. Florida is indeed nice and sunny and warm most of the year … so much so that there are many days when you have to get whatever business or recreation (like a golf round) you might want to do out of doors done before 10 a.m., then hunker down behind closed doors, shades and powerful air conditioning until … oh, about dinnertime.And don’t try to get anybody to help you with this. Government officials in Florida have a well-earned reputation for corruption, and if you complain to them about the house that their corrupt developer friend misbuilt for you, or otherwise stop the FL-eecing, expect repercussions because they know who butters their bread (And it’s not like they haven’t looked north and seen what happened in Virginia when they invited the whole country to come and enjoy their great business-friendly economy … now today all the Democrats who moved into the area around Washington are basically calling the shots in the state; some Republicans in Florida are saying it would be better to raise taxes and even pass an income tax if it keeps Florida from going the same direction politically).

Congrats on your engagement!Suggested Budget: This is just a starting point. There may be expenses here that you may not need so you can adjust accordingly.Reception $1,100Ceremony Fees & Legal Stuff: $200Decor/Flowers: $200Printed Services $100Photographer: $200Menswear and Grooming: $200Tenting, Chair and Table Rental: $0Music: $0Bridal Party Gifts: $0Rehearsal Dinner: $0Day of Coordinator: $0(Honeymoon expenses not included).________Reception $1,100 ($22 per person, including grooms)Needs to include:FoodVenue Fee (Try to get free)Beverages - water, sodas, tea, coffeePlates, Cups, Utensils, Linens, Napkins etc.Alcohol (May push you over the budget)Cake & Cake Stand/DisplayTax, Fees and GratuityVendor Meals (If you do not have a DJ, full day photographer, etc, you do not need to worry about this.)Notes:Volunteers:You will most likely need to enlist some volunteers to be in charge of food. They would meet the caterer and give instructions for set up, back fill food, clean up, etc. To stay on budget, you will most likely need to use a drop off catering service rather than full-service catering. Full service catering automatically sky rockets the cost, especially when they hear the word, “wedding.”Example Pricing:Just for a starting point, I looked up catering fees for Maggiano’s in Tampa. I have used one of their restaurants near Philly to cater a corporate lunch. They would deliver and set up the food buffet style so that it stays warm. They have a package that includes a full meal and mini desserts that would just come under the budget, including delivery fee and a 6% sales tax. (I don’t know what sales tax is in Florida. I used Pennsylvania’s.) This would not include a cake, but you might be able to negotiate the price down by not including dessert. It would not include a tip or alcohol. The point of me looking them up is to determine that this budget is doable.You would want to do research on other caterers. You can certainly get a better deal than the one described above.Style of Food:You may also opt to do a brunch, cocktail party or picnic style event. The style of event will influence the price, need for alcohol, etc.Partial Self-Catering:You could also bring the price of the food down by only having the hot food catered, and then you provide the cold/room temperature food such as buffet style salads, cheese display, crudités, quiche, pastries if doing brunch, etc. Again, you will need a dedicated person help coordinate this, preferably not a person of honor like a groom or parent of a groom. You’ll want to enjoy your special day with those who are most important to you and be stress free.Alcohol:In my area, you can return unopened wine and liquor to the state store. You’ll want to keep your state rules in mind regarding this. Hard liquor is the cheapest alcohol as compared to beer or wine (unless you are getting the cheapest box wine, which I don’t recommend). Therefore, you may want to create a signature drink or punch. A signature drink adds to the atmosphere and theme of the event. You can give it a clever name and have the color match your decor. It will be fun to experiment with recipes in advance. You’ll want to find a liquor that is in your budget that you can balance with other inexpensive homemade mixers and ingredients that will result in a palatable end product. To further save money on alcohol, you can make your signature drink non-alcoholic, and then have a designated “bartender” add the alcohol for each guest. This will allow you to use only the exact amount of liquor that you need and return any unused bottles. For October, your signature drink could be a spiked hot cider if you have access to a dispenser that keeps liquids hot.Cake: Cake can be very pricey. Cupcakes seem to be in vogue right now. You could have one small cake if you plan to have a cake cutting moment, in addition to the cupcakes. You could DIY the cupcakes yourself in advance and freeze them several months in advance. I’ve heard of people freezing iced cupcakes. However, if it were me, I would freeze them unfrosted and then dip each one in chocolate ganache several days before the event. It really depends on your experience in the kitchen and you may want to delegate this task. If you DIY, make sure you experiment well in advance. You can also simply order cupcakes from a bakery. You’ll still save by not ordering a tiered cake.Linens and Things: Opt for “nicer” looking disposables. Your beautiful decor will be hold the attention of the eyes.Ceremony Fees & Legal Stuff: $200Needs to include:Ceremony Fee (Try to get free)Officiant and Marriage License FeesDecor/Flowers: $200Needs to include:BoutonnieresCenterpieces for ReceptionCeremony decor/archFavors (Favors can double as decor).Escort Table Decor/ Table Assignment DisplayNotes:Flowers: Fresh flowers are pricey, especially if you work with a professional florist. You do not have to have fresh flowers at all. If they are important to you, and you don’t want to work with a professional florist, you can find them at very low prices at discount/membership grocers. In my area there is a place called Produce Junction. Keep in mind, you will need to be flexible in your design because you will not be able to predict what flowers will be available. There are also certain dried flowers or greenery that give the impression of fresh flowers. I can give examples upon request.Since your event will be in October, you could also use pumpkins. Either keep with the fall colors or you can paint them to suit your decor. Naturally white or white painted pumpkins can be elegant. You could also spray them with glitter or textured paint. The possibilities are endless.Candles can be very inexpensive and can easily create a nice ambiance. At my wedding, I had an assortment of different candles. I had a rustic, outdoorsy theme. I had some floating candles with river rocks at the bottom, some tea lights inside a glass votive that were DIY’d with glitter or lace, and some other styles.The room layout and tables are a consideration. If you have round tables, you will want to determine how many people sit at a table, plus the sweetheart table if you have one. For example, if you have round tables with 6 people each, you’ll need a total of 9 centerpieces, including the sweetheart table if you have one. Each table does not need to be an exact replica of the other, so don’t fret if you can’t find 9 identical centerpieces on sale. You could have 2 or 3 of the same items and stagger them amongst the tables. Instead of round tables, if you opt for the two or more long rectangular tables, in a family style fashion, it looks very elegant. You can then line up smaller, less expensive items down the center of the table and it makes a huge impact. For example, you could use small pumpkins or upcycle little spice jars as bud vases, along with some elegant candle sticks.Boutonnieres/Corsages: If you decide to do boutonnieres, this could take a good chunk of your budget if you get them from a florist. I have seen freeze dried rose boutonnieres in Wegman’s. You could also be creative and use a non-floral boutonniere that you DIY from feathers, fabric, buttons, jewels or anything that coordinates with your theme and attire. Alternatively, you could wear a classy pocket square in your signature color. You’ll also need to consider if you want to provide Boutonnieres and/or Corsages for honored guests such as parents.Favors can really add up per person. If you know the theme you want, I can brainstorm ideas. Off of the top of my head, a pumpkin with a little tag that says, “Thank you for sharing our day” etc. can double as table decor.Ceremony Arches can be rented. My florist provided one for $50, not including the flowers/greenery. The advantage to having her provide it was that she was experienced and it made me confident that it would not blow over in the wind. She also set it up and took it down. I didn’t have to worry about transporting a huge arch around. You could also think outside the box and simply set up two potted trees that you might already have in your home. Then string some bunting between the two of them. If you marry under an outdoor tree, you could also hang a chandelier and/or other decor from the branches to define the space.For the table assignment display, I found a nice, large frame at a custom framing store that was accidentally made for someone with the wrong dimensions. Then I painted a piece of thin wood with chalkboard paint to place inside of it. I wrote out the table assignments with chalk marker. There are many other options for this. Feel free to ask for more suggestions.Printed Services $100Needs to include:InvitationsPostage StampsCeremony Programs (DIY)Notes:Craft Stores sell DIY invitation kits that you print from your home printer. I ordered my invitations from VistaPrint which is much easier. They have invitations starting at 35 cents per invite, including envelopes. Make sure you sign up for their email list first. You’ll get a discount on your first purchase. You will likely not need 50 invitations if some of your guests are couples who live in the same household. If you only need 30 invitations, for example, start off by ordering only 15 or 20 invitations. VistaPrint will give you the option to add more invitations at an even greater discount before you completely check out. You may want to experiment or do an internet search on how this works because I don’t remember how the exact numbers work on their site. I also designed and ordered post cards to use as RSVP cards. This allowed me to use less expensive postage for the RSVP. You could also opt to forgo RSVP cards altogether and simply have guests call you. Just make sure you have an organized plan for RSVP. My invitation and RSVP card was light enough so that I did not need to pay for an extra postage. You may want to keep the weight of your invitations in mind. Additional postage due to heavy invitations equals extra expense.Photographer: $200Needs to include:Professional Photography of Grooms (for a set time, i.e. after ceremony)Notes: To have a professional photographer to cover the entire ceremony and reception, you would likely pay close to $1,000. See if you can get a volunteer in charge of capturing the special moments throughout the day. However, you may want to have some professional posed shots taken of the two of you while you have that wedding day glow! This should only take 30–60 minutes so you could probably find a reasonable deal on this. You may want to also have a talented friend shoot your engagement pictures.Menswear and Grooming: $200Needs to include:Tuxedo RentalShoesHairstyling Services and Grooming ProductsNotes: You can easily eliminate the cost of this by wearing nice clothes you already own and just sticking with your normal hair cutting regimen. Otherwise, you may want to splurge on a special stylist.Tenting, Chair and Table Rental: $0You’ll want to figure out how people will be oriented during the ceremony. Renting chairs will considerably cut into your budget. I have attended a wedding where they had the reception and ceremony under the same tent. There were two long tables where guests were seated. The bride and groom walked down the “isle” between the two tables. Having some sort of set up like this at your clubhouse may simplify things and save money. Otherwise, you may want to marry in a church where they let you use the space for free and you just pay the officiant fee. You may also be able to have the ceremony at a park or beach pavilion where they already have enough benches in place to accommodate 50 guests.Music: $0Includes:Ceremony and Reception MusicEquipment such as speakers and microphonesLots of people are opting for making their own playlist on a phone or mp3 player. I recommend putting someone in charge of manning the music that day. You’ll want music for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour if you have one, reception, first dance, etc. Hopefully your venue already has a PA system you can use. Otherwise, if you have a friend who is in a band, they may be willing to allow you the use of their equipment.Wedding Party/Groomsmen Gifts: $0You’ll save money if you do not have a wedding party. You’ll eliminate the need for gifts and extra guests at the rehearsal dinner if you have one.Rehearsal Dinner: $0Often a family member pays for this. If not, you may want to keep the ceremony and reception activities very simple to eliminate the need for a formal rehearsal and dinner. You could simply have people over for an informal dinner at your home to hash out the day-of details. Have a really good emcee who will tell everyone what they need to do on the day of. Print out a timeline in advance so everyone knows what is expected of them.Day of Coordinator: $0You will most likely need to do a lot of things on your own and also enlist the help of friends and family. Find a close friend or family member to be your “day of” coordinator. You’ll want this to be someone you don’t mind being in the background on the big day - so don't ask your best friend or a parent. This person will be responsible for giving payments to vendors, making sure food and drinks are backfilled etc.Other Things You Need to Plan: Feel free to let me know any other details you want to work out like specifics on decor or anything else. I can help you brainstorm some memorable details that will not cause you to overspend on your budget.

There would only be one and I would utilize every single bit of political capital I had to get it done, even if it meant not a single person that was on “my side” got re-elected. Because if this got fixed, a LOT of things would naturally fall out from it.Education in this country is broken. It is not a little broken, it is COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY BROKEN. It’s a national embarrassment and the fact that we keep trying the same thing over and over and over and make things worse and worse should embarrass every politician and education policy maker in the country.Let’s start with literacy. The rate of high school students who are illiterate AND GRADUATING is increasing[1][1][1][1] . The literacy rate among graduating seniors in the US, depending on the state, varies between 75% and 85%. The national average is that about 20% of high school graduates can’t read[2][2][2][2] . This number has increased from 14% over the last 20 years. Worse, is this does not address high school dropouts. In Texas (my state), twenty five percent of students don’t graduate. I would assume that the illiteracy rate among these kids is a LOT higher than those who do graduate. Which means, at minimum, 25% of our young adults are entering adult life not being able to read. The number is probably closer to 33%. And that’s functionally illiterate…the numbers don’t include those who read at a low grade level and still get out.Math statistics are even worse — much worse.On the other hand, the US spends more per child than any other country in the world[3][3][3][3] . The national average per student is $11,752/year[4][4][4][4] . This number is also horribly understated as most school districts (a) have a strong incentive to keep this number reported as low so as to gin up support for more money and (b) because most school districts have numerous “off book” items. For instance, many school districts don’t count bond raises for new capital structures (e.g. building a new school) into the cost per student. Which is absurd, as capital expenditures can be in the hundreds of millions in larger school districts. In 2015 alone, the US spent $53b in capital outlay expenditures[5][5][5][5] . That’s another $1,000 or so per child. It also frequently doesn’t include pension information (variably by state), which further increases the amount spent per student.For instance, Dallas reports that it received $11,527 per student[6][6][6][6] in 2015. But this number only includes revenues received from property and sales taxes — not bond issues, federal grants, donations, and other sources. My last estimate showed that the total spending per student in the US is, in real dollars, closer to $16,000 if you account for every penny from every source.And the numbers keep going up[7][7][7][7] . In fact, in some areas of the country, spending per student has more than doubled in the last 25 years.Yet at the same time teacher salaries have been declining[8][8][8][8] . Does everyone out there not realize how incredibly insane that is? Nothing has bigger impact on the students than the teachers at schools (I’d argue parents and home environment are more important). Not the curriculum, not sports, not special activities, and certainly not administration and overhead.I cannot wrap my head around the fact that we keep spending more money and the results keep getting worse. Our current system does not work, has not worked, and needs to be completely re-worked. I don’t care what party you are in, what your position on “hot button” education issues are — if you think we don’t have a major problem and aren’t failing our children, then you likely are a product of the current education system which explains why you feel that way. (Controlling my urge to make this my first Quora post ever laced with profanity is difficult).And it angers me to no end that our politicians, and citizenry, argue over things like regulating emissions from cars, or how a reduction in corporate tax rates by X% will help or hurt, when there’s a system that literally is damaging millions of people per year.Now that I’m done ranting about how much we are failing, we need to dig in and find out how to fix things. In order to do that, we have to identify WHY we are failing. And this is where the debates start kicking in.In my opinion, based on hundreds of hours of researching this, is that there are multiple reasons why we are failing, which I’m setting out below. I will acknowledge that there likely are more or that I may have mis-weighted how much each of these factor into our national failure. I’m willing to talk to anyone about it at all in a rational manner:Our single biggest problem is our “one size fits all” system. This is unfair to everyone. If you have a recent immigrant seven year old child who has never read any book ever written in English and another seven year old child with a 150 IQ that is already reading the Wall Street Journal (not a hypothetical, one of my daughters seven year old friends reads the WSJ with fair regularity — don’t think she comprehends what it is always saying, but she can hammer right through it) then, why for the love of God, are they in the same class? Two things happen — the lower educated child does not get the full attention they deserve and the higher educated child is pulled down. We therefore are harming both children. Which is obscene. I won’t pee in the political correctness punch here either. I don’t care WHY we do this. It doesn't work. It can’t work. It has to change;The lack of discipline in schools. An educator I respect very much summed it up best — “Whenever a student figures out they don’t have to work or listen to the teachers anymore, the jig is up.” I volunteered in a fifth grade class at one point. One of the teachers showed me the math homework the students had turned in. About 1/3 of the students did the assignment. About 1/2 just didn’t turn them in at all. The remainder got more creative. One of my favorite answers to a math problem was “Go F*(* yourself.” What’s a teacher to do here? Yell (that might get you fired). Berate the student in front of the class? (might get them fired and the kid likely doesn’t care). Send the child to detention? (Again very unlikely to care). There has to be a way to introduce consequences for poor behavior into school. Which flows some into my next point:The lack of parental responsibility. I cannot imagine the living hell I would have gone through if I ever showed up at home with the teacher having called my parents and told them I told her to go F herself. I would have had my butt beat black and blue. All video games and privileges revoked. I would have been doing my dad’s favorite punishment of digging a hole I can stand in and filling it back in till dark every day for a year. (That’s worse than you think because you never have enough dirt to fill it back in, so you have to get a wheelbarrow, walk a ways to a field, and wheel it back). The number of parents who blame the TEACHER for this issue is mind numbing. Similarly when a student is not meeting expectations, instead of calling the teacher saying what do I NEED TO DO to help my child succeed and catchup, the teacher gets blamed for not teaching appropriately. In VERY rare instances it is a teacher, but those instances are far and few. And even if that is the case, then we should be teaching our kids how to deal with the adversity of butting heads with someone and achieving in spite of that. I’ve had bosses I couldn’t stand and that actively worked to sabotage me. Teach the kids to deal with that in order to succeed;The “everyone must pass” philosophy. Teachers, and schools, are measured on things such as how many students pass on to the next grade. MANY school districts now have a lowest set grade of 60 (see discipline problem, if you can’t get below a 60, why do anything at all?). I’m sorry, not everyone learns at the same rate, speed, or even necessarily has the ability to do certain work. Passing them is child abandonment. It’s the equivalent of wanting a potential NBA all star for a child and when you learn, at age 8, that they’ll never make it, dropping them off at the fire station to be an orphan and make it on their own. It’s a nauseating practice that has to stop. You are ONLY hurting the student more by doing so — and putting them FURTHER behind in material — which as shown above — hurts both them and the students in the next grade that earned their way there; which goes to my last point:NOT EVERYONE CAN DO EVERYTHING. Some people are smarter than others. Some will have the mental ability to go to college and learn high level calculus and become great engineers. Some people are not capable of this. That is not discriminatory. That is not sexist. That is a fact. Some people are not as smart as each other. And until we can admit that, and deal with it, we will continue to have problems.So what do we do to FIX these problems? I have a very high level suggestion, then something I would like to see implemented.At a high level, I would love to see the Federal Government’s role completely change. Instead of dictating what and how things should be taught, play the role of encouraging different solutions and monitoring their effectiveness. For instance, if Florida wanted to go to a 100% voucher system for a fully privatized school system, encourage it, but have a system of measurement and metrics that can be compared with other states. If Massachusetts wanted to adopt the German system of everyone going to kindergarten and then elementary school through age nine, then dividing them into one of four secondary levels, it could[9][9][9][9] . California could then eliminate school districts and run everything from the State level. Then have the Federal government observe each system, for a period of 5–15 years, and then actually look at what each method costs and how well it succeeds, then we can find out what works well. I would bet all 50 states adopt something slightly different. I would HOPE the Federal Government encouraged 50 VERY different possibilities.The amazing thing about that is how well we’d learn real quick what improves and what doesn’t. Because people move with their feet. Families who move to new communities, the schools are often the most important thing they look at. If California’s system is an utter failure, while Florida has taken off, well that’s going to be obvious pretty quickly. If the Feds encouraged a whole variety of systems, we could lick this problem in under a generation.Moving to my solution that I’d like to see at least one state implement - it’s a public/private system, and as this post is getting very long at this point, I’ll try to only hit the highlights.Any student that wants to go to a private school can. They will receive a voucher for 90% of the total amount currently spent per child. This includes ALL dollars. So if a district spends $15,000 per kid, the voucher would be worth $13,500;No private school can have more than 40% of the private schools in the area — we have to foster competition;Private schools are NOT required to accept students. If they want to have certain defined academic criteria they can. If they want to expel discipline problems they can;Every school district will have to maintain at least one public school for those who either can’t hack the private school or are discipline issues. However, to encourage teachers, at least 75% of the dollars saved by only having 90% vouchers must go to teacher salaries. In other words, public school teachers are going to be making significantly more than a lot of their private counterparts;All advancement, in public and private schools, must be merit based. If you can’t read past a 5th grade level, you don’t go to 6th grade. This means you teach students based on ABILITY and not age. For a while this may “hurt” the feelings of children, but after it is seen as the way things are, that’ll fade some;To encourage more private schools, setup a property grant system. In that a school district will GIVE a private school the building, the land around it, and the local assets already there, provided the private school then is responsible for all maintenance and upkeep and that school MAY NOT charge more than each voucher is worth or ability to pay is never a factor in admitting students. E.g. you’d have to have some sort of scholarship system in place (this could be done, yes rules and thought would have to be put into it);For discipline issue children, set up a reward system. Most of the discipline students will fall back into the public system. With the balance of that 25% from the voucher savings (plus savings from less overhead), start rewarding the child’s PARENTS if they succeed. With the above numbers, that would be about $1,000/year. Make it CLEAR that if the child stops being a discipline problem and moves on, there’s a monetary reward. Make it something like $250/year for behavioral corrections and put the other $750 into a fund every year that the child gets upon graduation AND having graduated at a high school grade level (or their respective school level). This could be several thousand dollars and should be in an account they see. Numbers can obviously be flexible;We have to move to a non-one size fits all system. That means, at some point, putting students on different tracks — from trade school or technical school, to college, to graduate level items. Cater to each students skill set and set them up to succeed. There must be an easy way to switch between tracts though and the rules for each must be clearly defined; andEither eliminate or reduce the availability of government benefits to students who drop out. (Must be allowed to re-enroll at any age). So if you are on a trade school tract when you turn 16, if you quit, you don’t qualify for government support in your life — from food stamps to unemployment to government funded health care. The multi-tract system MUST exist to do this (and of course there are exceptions for the disabled and certain circumstances). But there MUST BE CONSEQUENCES TO QUITTING.I’ve got pages of information on how to fairly implement such a system, how to prevent the private schools from abusing it, how to deal with particularly problematic children, how to most help the ESL (English as a second language) crowd, ways to save more money, etc.But a combined system that includes choice, monetary incentives, rewards, and costs stands a much better chance than what we have now.And if this was obviously failing in a 10 year period, then we try something else — or move to a system another state successfully implemented.Something has to give though, and failing to get things changed, costs the entire country. We end up with a bad workforce, increased social costs later in life, and a shrinking economy. It hurts the entirety of society across the board.And the fact that we aren’t trying SOMETHING different other than throwing more money into a failed system is beyond stupid.Footnotes[1] https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED507600.pdf [1] https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED507600.pdf [1] https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED507600.pdf [1] https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED507600.pdf [2] Can illiterate Students Graduate from High School?[2] Can illiterate Students Graduate from High School?[2] Can illiterate Students Graduate from High School?[2] Can illiterate Students Graduate from High School?[3] U.S. education spending tops global list, study shows[3] U.S. education spending tops global list, study shows[3] U.S. education spending tops global list, study shows[3] U.S. education spending tops global list, study shows[4] Education Spending Per Student by State[4] Education Spending Per Student by State[4] Education Spending Per Student by State[4] Education Spending Per Student by State[5] https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2018/2018303.pdf[5] https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2018/2018303.pdf[5] https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2018/2018303.pdf[5] https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2018/2018303.pdf[6] https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2018/2018303.pdf[6] https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2018/2018303.pdf[6] https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2018/2018303.pdf[6] https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2018/2018303.pdf[7] Does Spending More on Education Improve Academic Achievement?[7] Does Spending More on Education Improve Academic Achievement?[7] Does Spending More on Education Improve Academic Achievement?[7] Does Spending More on Education Improve Academic Achievement?[8] The Data Tells All: Teacher Salaries Have Been Declining For Years - EdSurge News[8] The Data Tells All: Teacher Salaries Have Been Declining For Years - EdSurge News[8] The Data Tells All: Teacher Salaries Have Been Declining For Years - EdSurge News[8] The Data Tells All: Teacher Salaries Have Been Declining For Years - EdSurge News[9] Image on howtogermany.com[9] Image on howtogermany.com[9] Image on howtogermany.com[9] Image on howtogermany.com
