Then you (the people of Philly) have no one to blame but themselves for the situation the schools are in. You have to blame the school board & the teacher unions for the most part.

Do you honestly think that if the school budget was increased to $25k per kid/year, that would result in more book spending (books=any/all educational items) per kid?

I'm willing to bet that the admins/teachers etc will continue to eat up the same percentages (if not more) of that per kid budget, and the kids will see even less (as a percentage) then they do now.

The admin/teacher ratio is ridiculous! I wish I had the figures, but it is staggering the amount of red tape and in the district.

And that's 90% of the problem.
