Do you know how much money government funds for education each year int the U.S?

Answer 1

Of course I do! doesn't everyone?

Answer 2

government funding of education in the U.S. includes funding from federal, state, and local authorities

the U.S. Department of Education has an annual budget of about $90 billion http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/index.html?src=gu

most states put there costs (of primary and secondary education, that doesn't include colleges)
somewhere near $4000/per student for example:
http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2000/stateprofiles/state_profiles/wisconsin.asp

this is believeable because that is what swanky private schools cost, and we would expect a government to be inefficient enough to make up the difference in quality

if you add in federal and state support of colleges, and combine the federal moneys to primary and secondary schools, you probably get a number that is around $10,000 per student per year

Answer 3

About $6.5 billion.

For FY2006, Congress reduced education funds for the first time in ten years by more than $2 billion.

Answer 4

Not enough, and it's getting smaller every year. "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND" BS it's all about No Big Business left behind!!!
