TYLER - A new study looks at the staffing ratios in Texas public schools and makes suggestions on how to combat the state's growing budget.
The report, which comes out of the Texas Conservative Coalition Research Institute says Texas' education system is inefficient.
According to the study, non-teachers account for half of all public education employees across the state.

Non-teachers account for *HALF*?! Jeeze, I knew the inflated administration problem was bad, but not *that* bad! Really, what more does a school need other than the Principal, a handful of front office people, janitorial and lunch staff, the Nurse, and a Counselor?
A image of a cafeteria being cleaned by a horde of IRobot Scubas and Roombas just popped into my head and it made me giggle.

Silly me, I should watch the video THEN comment.
So they're not mostly administrative huh. Hmm.
Stop moving the kids from classroom to classroom, make the teachers do that instead. It'll cut down on wear and tear, cut down on germ transmission, and you can make the kids do a little cleaning themselves at the end of the day.
Well who do you think drives the buses, cleans, does the plumbing, painting, grounds keeping, vehicle repairs? We tried the private or outsourced schools meal programs and it cost the taxpayers of our district almost double what it was costing the district to operate the cafeteria so who do you think serves your children their breakfast and lunch and keeps order in the lunchroom? SURE ISN'T THE TEACHERS DOING ANY OF THESE JOBS.
