A nursing home around here for dementia runs $10,000 per month.

That seems cheap if you break it down into per hour of labor needed. I can only imagine how understaffed they are. I would hope I can take myself out before I end up in one of those.

Same time we hardly pay that per year for k-12. Shows how messed up our priorities are.

School aged kids and teenagers also require a lot less individual care and attention

Nursing homes have some similarity to schools, the staff is mostly occupied by a few problem patients while the rest quietly shuffle along

14% aren't even graduating our watered-down standards. I think they could use a lot more individual care and attention.

This is a stupid comment. You think a child is as much work as a psychotic elderly person.
