Higher achievement relative to what?  It isn't the building that educates the child, it is the teacher and the cirriculum.  The first 6 years of my education were in a school where two grades were intermingled for lack of space and equipment but I dare say that when I finished the 6th grade, I was more literate, and more mathematically adept than most graduating seniors today.  I graduated from high school the year before the fed became involved in education.  Oddly enough, that year, students reached the pinnicale of educational success and it has been a steady decline ever since.


Early students are no longer drilled in the basics and as a result, the remainder of their education is built upon a foundation of sand.  More money obviously isn't the answer to the educational problems in this country,
