It cites Phoenix per-pupil costs, national $56 billion annual spending, and SAT score declines since 1963, questioning the value of standardized tests in moral contexts.
The text argues about SAT score validity, taxpayer opposition to bond issues, and the idea that teachers should improve at current pay. It notes declining public school enrollment and competition from private schools, urging teachers to focus on performance rather than tenure disputes. It references trustee meetings at a private school showing strong applicant quality and calls for public teachers to adapt.
