That's right, eight out of 50 claim to be 49th, including Tennessee. The others are Florida, Illinois, Idaho, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Utah and Arizona. Posted in Education

I guess they all claim to be better than Mississippi! Posted by: Mike at March 29, 2005 07:48 AMIt's a false statistic, anyway. Somebody has to be "last", but if they're all within 1% of each other, what does it matter? I don't know what the actual spread is for education spending, but I remember when IU faculty were griping that they were the worst paid in the Big 10, when in reality they were making something like 5% less than the top-paid school- which also happened to be located in an area with a far higher cost of living. "We spend the least on education" really doesn't mean anything. Posted by: Michael Chaney at March 29, 2005 10:34 AMPost a comment
