I'm not advocating something as drastic as Denmark's system.
Imo, that's going a bit too far.
We're already spending so much as is right now.

I do think that all things equal,
there should more funding for city college & vocational schools.

funding costs equal, provide more classes at night/weekends for working adults.
It is terribly unfair that a dispropoationate amount classes should be provided to ppl who have no day jobs.
It should be the other way around.

More affordable & accesible education/work training would allow our workers to adpat to the changing workplace easier.
It would also give all those laid-off factory workers more of a chance to get a decent job outside of manufacturing.

Now with high school, I am not convinced there is a direct 'cause & effect' relationship between funding and student performance.
Forgive me, if I have more far more faith in America's colleges than public high schools.
