philg Here we are in 2003 and the city apparently is spending $17,000 per year for each remaining student (still the most expensive in Massachusetts) to achieve some of the lowest test scores of any district in the state. The $17,000 number combined with the poor results invites some brainstorming. The world's best-performing secondary schools tend to be in Asia. Korean students do especially well on international tests. This U.S. military guide says that Korean private schools range in price from $2,000 to $13,700 per year. So the taxpayers of Cambridge could afford to charter Boeing 747s to fly kids to and from Korea every month, enroll them at the most expensive boarding schools in that nation, and still end up spending less than we're spending now.
