Everyone knows that Florida ranks at the bottom when it comes to education. Except when it ranks near the top.
Depending on whom you ask, where you look and what year it is, Florida's standing compared to the rest of the nation is all over the map.
Here's Gov. Charlie Crist, speaking in June: “Things are very good in education in Florida. We've gone, in fact, from 31st in education out of the 50 states two years ago to the top 10 in our country according to Education Week — and that's a great thing.''
Compare that to Miami-Dade Superintendent Alberto Carvalho the same month: “There should be no pride in declaring we're 47th nationally in funding.''
