More money does not mean better schools
The Antietam School District has the highest tax rate in Berks County.
The Antietam School District is one of three Berks districts that failed to make adequate yearly progress in the PSSA tests, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
One of the other failing districts, Reading School District, is the biggest recipient of state aid in the county.
I can't wait to see how school administrators are going to spin this one. Every year, they say they need to raise property taxes so the "children can get a better education."
Pennsylvania keeps pouring more money into public schools that are failing. The state's own tests prove it.

Accountability has more to do with success than the funding. NCLB, while far from perfect, has proven that. I love hearing teachers whine about NCLB. They even came up with their "No Dentist Left Behind" vignette. There's accountability in everyone else's life, why not theirs?
