Unfortunately, Florida's educational system and infrastructure is

I know it is fun to blame everything oon a Bush but the schools
actually got better since 1998 (Chiles)
In the 90s Florida education was one step above Mississippi. It
actually got better. We are currently spending about 20,000 a year per
student in Lee County so throwing more money at the schools is not a
solution


Very true, but you'll never get the NEA or AFT to buy off on that.
