The other day I discussed the issue of schools' investing in technology at the expense of teacher salaries. Here's a similar dilemma: investing in classrooms at the expense of teacher salaries. This article seems to put Florida governer Jeb Bush in the position of defending tecaher salaries and issuing warnings to schools that don't reduce class sizes. But it's a bit muddled, and I don't understand the link with high speed rail at all (I guess you have to live there to get the whole picture). Anyhow: the main point is that the issue goes beyond teachers versus technology. Schools represent enormous capital investments. If putting laptops into kids' hands can save even half of this, there ought to be money for teachers. Maybe?
