Bill Gates: How state budgets are breaking US schools

http://www.ted.com/talks/bill_gates_how_state_budgets_are_breaking_us_schools.html

教育經費不管是在台灣還是在美國都是一個重大的議題

Gates認為美國在預算分配上將會影響到教育品質

但是下面的討論區卻有人提出：有證據顯示花在每個孩子身上的預算少也可以有好的教學成果

well, i do think how much state budgets should be allocated to education is disputable

we might have elementary schools running by little money but efficient,

however, the truth is that it is impossible to run a high-level academical institution without abundant funding, and i believe this is the reason why Gates mentioned the UC system.
