But just cutting funding isn't the answer (0.00 / 0)

The Department of Education says it is less than $14K in 2009-2010.  http://www.state.nj.us/educati...  That's still a lot, and it could be lower, but the NYT number from 2006 is still off.

Just cutting funding without having a plan on how to fix education is a sure way to make things worse.  It surely cannot improve things.  

Withholding money may work for a teenager overspending on clothes, but it doesn't help in this case.
