Here's why I don't trust it. I haven't verified it. But for most of my life I have heard stuff like this and almost always the truth is that rate of increase has decreased. Or the way the money was allocated was changed. Or the way they measure money being spent on students was changed. That's what I'm saying.

There has been a trend for some time of spending more education money on administrators for example. Many in education push back on this, but the core problem is as the article states. There isn't a market incentive. Public education is not the real world. There are still good people in the systems but the systems themselves are rotten.

IMO there shouldn't be any public schools at all and definitely not so called public universities.
