Walmart model could teach school systems to manage

Dear Mr. Berko: This year, the Florida Legislature passed a $70 billion budget and $22 billion of that will be spent on public education. Ten years ago, public education spending cost $10.5 billion. That’s twice as much, and our schools (especially my alma mater, the University of Florida) are not getting twice as good. In fact, many of us would say that the quality of education is really twice as bad. Why is it that college costs increase so much each year but the quality of the education doesn’t seem to improve one bit?
