“$20K Per Student—And They Still Can’t Read?”: John Myrick Calls Maryland’s Education System a Betrayal
Maryland invests nearly $20,000 per student in education, yet 4th and 8th graders underperform nationally in math and reading. Republican candidate John Myrick criticizes this as a failure and advocates for cutting administrative costs, increasing school choice, and restoring parental involvement to improve outcomes. He argues leadership must prioritize effective education over spending.
