Excerpt from this article:
"The age and cultural divide
notwithstanding (she's 25, I'm not, and Elvis was my adolescent icon), I
like Taylor Swift, but her money would have been better invested with much
higher returns somewhere other than the dreadful New York City public
schools, whose problems are not the result of insufficient funding. According to the Huffington Post, citing U.S. Census
Bureau data, 'New York spent $19,076 per student in
the 2011 fiscal year, as compared to the national average of $10,560.'
In 90 of the city’s public schools, Families for
Excellent Schools found that not a single African-American or Hispanic student
received a passing grade on state tests.
