Thanks...but the table is over ten years old and lacks context.

Still, using your premise, the #1 state of Iowa has teachers leaving their union:

Good eyes.

Here's from the census bureau 2009:

A cursory check shows that those states mentioned fell at or below Wisconsin's levels except in one category (Virginia beat Wisconsin in grade 4 reading by two points).

What does this mean ?

Does low funding cause low scores ? Or do low scores mean that people value education less, and therefore cause low funding ?

It's unknown - but they appear to be related don't they ?

Thanks.....I think we all need to take a look at both sides and try to find some common ground.....nothing wrong with someone making an honest wage for a job well done...in reality it is the middle income earners that will stimulate the economy.....the money will find its way back into the corporations pockets.....

Fairview ave here Jack......old quiet neighborhood. All my kids(3) have gone to lakeview.

Pretty good links.

Now, find links showing demography. Find links pertaining to dollars spent per student.

Then gloat!

Don't want to gloat Yukon.....it's about finding a solution that will work for both sides. I use to have a company that was non union......went unionized and has been a huge benifit...have a trained labour pool available when needed for shutdowns....sometimes 35 men for a 2 day shutdown.....all workers produce certificates for whmis,manlift,fall arrest, and other training that is paid for and supplied by local unions....the labour pool is far better trained and available then i could hope for then when i was non union doing it myself.......i never thought that this would work out for my company .....but i have to say i am far better off today than i was before.

Can someone remind me how to post a data table here ?

Sure....just copy your table....click the "<>" code insert button above and paste your table in between the brackets, preview and clean up as needed...like this:

Thanks! Strangely, the states in the other tables shown previously, do not appear anywhere near the top of this list.

And of course the states on the top five on this list produce nothing but geniuses.

Gotta go with the Caps tonight, BC. Ovi needs to have a big night.

I was almost led down the path of simplifying the issues... I really should watch myself there.

Obviously more spending on students can result in better education, and this would be a causal effect. Better salaries attract better teachers, also obvious.

What's not obvious are the many factors at play that produce well-performing and poor-performing states.

OK...but notice how I changed the actual line score for a game that has yet to be played. This is the true power of code snippets...one can alter the data and it will still look authentic. This is very handy when it comes to arguing about global warming climate change! :)
