Cost of schools more than repaid
A Washington Bureau of Education report states about twenty million children attend elementary and high school this year. With 165 school days annually, keeping schools open costs about 1.75 billion dollars. Each day in school adds roughly 16 to 17 dollars in future earnings, suggesting the year’s investment yields about 50 billion dollars in potential wealth, nearly thirty times the cost.
