We’re No. 49. That’s the big headline for Oklahoma from the U.S. Department of Education’s annual report on how much states spend on public schools. The report — read it for yourself at www.tulsaworld.com/schoolreport — shows that in the 2007-08 school year, Oklahoma spent $7,683 per pupil on public education. In a 21st century world that doesn’t rely on horses for transportation and has the benefits of computer technology, we don’t need a 19th century school system. In fact we can’t efficiently move forward with one.
