Jack Kingston: “We have to have child-centered education. Right now the Washington, DC school district spends, I think it is about…”

On the recordMarch 5, 1997
We have to have child-centered education. Right now the Washington, DC school district spends, I think it is about $10,000 per child because I know that Utah is the lowest in the country at about $3,400 and Washington, DC is the highest in the country. We spend $10,000 per child in Washington DC, and yet this Congress is going to have to spend an emergency appropriation to fund new boilers in Washington DC because they are about to blow up. That is how wasteful, I would say, and overburdensome bureaucracy can be. The money should be going to the teacher and the classroom.
