<p>xiggi - US decided that public education should be funded by each municipal, right or wrong. At the same time, money is not always the answer to have better education either. Just look at NJ Essex county. It includes Newark and Short Hills/Millburn. Millburn spends 15K per pupil and Newark spends 22K per pupil, yet Millburn is one of the best high schools in NJ, and we know where Newark is ranked. We decided early on that this wasn’t a battle we weren’t going to win and we voted with our feet.</p>
